Does a 2013 toyota corolla have a timing belt?

The 2013 Toyota Corolla's 1.8L 4Cylinder engine is driven by a timing chain, as opposed to a timing belt. Chains are estimated to last for upwards of 250,000 miles (while belts typically need to be replaced between 60,000 and 100,000 miles due to routine wear and tear), so You're likely saving out in the long run. However, there are some important things You need to know. Take, for instance, how much it will cost You if Your chain fails; You're looking at a repair in the range of upwards of $3,000. This doesn't include the cost to repair anything that the chain's failure took out along the way. Therefore, it's important to take care of Your engine with regular fluid changes and prudent driving, because You don't want to end up in a situation where You're paying more for a new engine than the car's worth.
