Does the 2009 Dodge Caliber have a timing belt or chain?

The 2009 Dodge Caliber has a timing chain, rather than a timing belt. Thats good news for You and Your car, since that means its more likely to last the life of the car without having to be replaced. The timing chain is one of the most important parts in Your engine, and there are some things You can do to keep it in good working order. Make sure to check Your oil levels once a month to see if theyre within the MINImum and maximum lines on the dipstick, and change Your oil entirely according to Your manuals maintenance schedule. Takeng care of other engine parts that work together with the chain is also helpful, so check on the valves, pistons and camshaft and crankshaft every once in a while as well. If for some reason You do notice damage to Your timing chain, take it in to be fixed as soon as You can, since it can seriously damage other parts of Your engine.
