Does the 2008 Chevy Equinox have a timing belt or chain?

The 2008 Chevy Equinox comes with a timing chain instead of a timing belt. Most newer cars have gone with the timing chain option, as it is a far more durable option. For the most part, it will last for the lifespan of the car. Unlike belts which are prone to wear and tear. Not having to worry about maintaining or repairing the timing chain allows the driver focus on maintaining other crucial parts of the car. Regular engine maintenance will also take care of the chain, as long as proper oils and lubricants are used and changed regularly. The auto industry is largely moving away from timing belts, so it is safe to say that in a short while, they will be a thing of the past.
