Does the Mazda CX 5 come with a timing belt or chain?

Question

Accepted Answer

No matter the model year or type of engine in your Mazda CX5, it is equipped with a timing chain instead of a timing belt. The advantage of this is that, if you're fortunate, you won't have to maintain the chain as often as you would a belt. By changing your oil every 5,000 or 7,500 miles, depending on the oil type you use, you can help prevent issues with the timing chain. It's crucial to avoid letting the chain run dry, as this can lead to damage from friction with other components. Repairing or replacing a timing chain can be quite costly, so it's best to take preventive measures.
