Nevermind. I just called a local Ford dealer and talked with their service manager. He said almost all Fords have timing chains and is no recommended interval for changing them. He said to have them replaced as needed.

Does a 2002 Ford Taurus with a 3.0L V6 OHV engine have a timing belt or chain and is it an interference or non-interference engine?

Your 3.0 Ford Taurus has a timing chain and is non-interference. No scheduled replacement is necessary. The only 3.0 Ford Taurus that had a belt was the SHO model, which had a Yamaha built 3.0 V6. I think it may have been a mistype, but the motor IS and interference motor, which is why you need to be careful. However, there is no belt, so if you are not messing with the chain then you will be fine because unless there is a problem with a tensioner, guide or the actual chain, your engine will not jump time. If it does, however, you will be bending valves or notching pistons.
