Does the Mitsubishi ASX utilize a timing belt or a timing chain for its engine?

Question

Accepted Answer

Whether your Mitsubishi ASX, also known as the Outlander Sport in the United States, is equipped with a timing chain or belt depends on both the year of your vehicle and the type of engine it houses. For models produced between 2008 and 2020 with a 2.0L or 2.4L 4-cylinder engine, they will come with a timing chain. However, if your vehicle is powered by a 3.0L V6 engine, it will have a timing belt instead. Should your vehicle have a timing belt, it is advisable to have it checked every 20,000 miles and replaced every 60,000 miles. On the other hand, there is no specific timeline for replacing a timing chain.
