Every Hyundai Santa Fe that has been manufactured since the year 2013 has been equipped with a timing chain. The potential for a long lifespan has made the chain more popular again in recent years. Timing belts are cheaper and can also last a long time thanks to improvements in the materials these days but many people still prefer the chains. A benefit of the chain is that it's in side the engine unlike the belt. Being inside means that the engine oil can lubricate it and make sure it stays working properly. If You end up delaying Your oil changed You could run the risk of having the chain dry up and break which can be costly to replace. -
