Does the Nissan Xterra have a timing chain or belt?

The Nissan Xterra uses a timing chain instead of a belt. The timing chains can go on for the lifetime of the car and need no replacement after regular intervals as in the case of timing belts. The timing chain avoids potential damage caused to the engine by the failure of timing belts. Due to this fact, all modern car manufacturers are opting for the timing chains instead of the timing belts. Although extremely rare and on the off chance that You might have to get Your timing chain replaced, it will cost You approximately $750 to $1200. This includes both labor cost and the cost of sourcing the parts.
