it has a chain and fun to change.
Yes, it uses an internal timing "CHAIN", not a belt. The timing chain should last until the engine needs to be rebuilt.
The 2.3 liter 4 cylinder and the 3.0 liter V6 have a timing CHAIN
The 1994 Mercury Topaz has a chain and not a belt.
The manufacture lists the mileage at which the timing belt must be replaced. On vehicles that have an interference engine if the belt breaks you will have serious internal engine damage. The mileage at which it must be changed varies from 60,000 to 110,000 miles. As you did not list your make, model, year, or engine size I can give you no definitive answer. Look in your owners manual.
Has your timing belt been changed? From what I understand, the car automatically turns on the light every 60,000 miles (the recommended interval between timing belt changes). I changed mine well after the light came on (it came on while the previous owner still had it) and the belt was long overdue. Also, when you do change it, you have to manually reset the light.
