Hey guys,

I'm not familiar with timing chains. I was just wondering how often you're supposed to replace them or service them. Also, what other things should be done as far as tune-up goes? I know the spark plugs should be replaced. Anything else? Car is a 2006 EX with 100,8xx miles and no previous maintenance history.

Thanks in advance.

 

There is no service interval on timing chains. They are designed to last the life of the engine. Not all of them last this long, but you more than likely will experience a tensioner failure before a chain failure.
Replace all the fluids and sparklugs, cabin air, and engine air filters. And you are done. The car is relatively maintenance free. (Also have the battery checked if it is original.)

 

We just did the air and cabin filter 2 days ago. He already wants a couple of the fluids replaced.

Thanks for the info!
