Is it necessary to change the timing belt at a particular mileage interval?

Hi kegelmta,

Your post says "timing chain" but your vehicle has a timing belt. The manufacturer recommends inspection of the belt every 30,000 miles and replacement every 60,000

See the diagrams below for replacement procedure
