Timing Belt or Chain

May 07, 2004 3 Replies

I have an 04 Max 3.5 SL and an 02 Frontier 4 Cyl manual: does anyone know if either of these vehicles use a timing belt.



In regards to the belt, Nissan recommends changing it at 60K miles---any comment?



What is maintenance for a timing chain?


TIA Doug


Timing chain is good for 105K miles. Timing belt usually needs replacement at about 60K miles.

Timing chain is virtually a maintenance free item, whereas timing belt has to be replaced periodically
