Does the 2018 Mazda 6 use a timing belt or timing chain in its engine configuration?

Question

Accepted Answer

The 2018 Mazda6 comes equipped with a timing chain rather than a timing belt. Unlike timing belts that require regular replacements, timing chains in modern cars can last the entire life of the vehicle without needing any changes. Many car manufacturers are now favoring timing chains over timing belts for better engine protection against sudden belt breakages. While rare, if you ever need to replace your timing chain, it may cost around $750 to $1200, covering both labor and parts expenses.
