Depends on miles on the engine - I traded in a 95 SL1 with 206,000 miles with the original timing chain still on the engine. My impression is that under normal circumstances, you should get at least 175,000 miles on a Saturn timing chain.

Do you change timing chain on 1997 Saturn?
Typically a timing chain does not fail since it runs in an oil bath. Of course, any physical component of a vehicle CAN fail, but timing chains typically do not need to be replaced until you rebuild the engine. A good general rule is, replace the timing chain whenever you work on the valve assembly.
