The manufacturer recommends that you change your 2000 Nissan Frontier four-cylinder engine timing belt every 60,000 miles. The 2000 Nissan Frontier does not have a timing chain, it has a timing belt.
The chain will last the life if the engine and does not require changing.
the 2001 does not have a timing belt,instead a timing chain,which does not required replacement as often as belt
It should last as long as the engine.
between 80 and 100,000 miles
Every 60,000 miles.
If the engine has a timing belt, it should be changed around the 150K mark. If there is a timing chain, it does not have to be changed unless it is damaged.
Unless there is something wrong with it (there shouldn't be), you should never have to replace the timing chain. That's the beauty of chevy.
Unless a timing chain is making a noise or has jumped a tooth, they need not be replaced. Timing belts need changing according to the specs spelled out in the owner's manual.
Should last the life of the engine and is normally changed during an overhaul.
I looked for an answer to this question in my Haynes manual and found nothing about how often to change the timing chain. It DOES, however, to into great detail about how to do it. FriPilot simply because they dont have a timing chain on the 2.2 ecotech
On the 1.6 litre Sentra engines you should not have to change a timing chain until well over 250,000 miles if ever. This engine has an automatic chain tensioner that keeps the chain tight so that it will not jump teeth when stretched due to wear. I have heard of early 90s engines developing gear tooth cupping that prevents the engine from retaining proper ignition timing. This causes the engine to run a little rough. I have never SEEN this though.
