Does the 2015 Chevy Malibu have a timing belt or chain?

The 2015 Chevrolet Malibu is equipped with a timing chain. Unlike a belt, the chain should last the life of the vehicle. However, there are exceptions, and replacing one is quite expensive. The average cost to replace this part on a Malibu is $640 to $770. Labor makes up about $460 to $590 of that total, so it's a very time-consuming and difficult task. The chain is comprised of links, which interact with the crankshaft and camshaft. It synC-HRonizes the rotation of these components, which control valves. If it breaks, expensive damage can occur. Although chains are supposed to be maintenance-free, it's a good idea to have the one in Your vehicle checked routinely. Friction can cause small fragments of it to break off. These can end up in the oil drain pan, which results in rattling noise. Also, shavings can be found in the oil during an oil change.
