Freind was told by our Nissan dealer chains last 150k on 2003 Maxima. His chain destroyed his engine at 128k miles. Metal shavings from chain got his engine, he even ran full syn & had all reciepts showing it changed at 3k like clock work! Take a guess who lost out?
Chains dont last that much longer than todays belts can, chains only cost a lot more to replace. Guess who wins more by our replacing chains vs belts, $1000 vs $230 in parts.

When do you change a timing chain in a 1998 Nissan Maxima?
The answer you got was incorrect. 1998 Maximas have a 3.0L V6 with a timing *chain*. You do not replace the chain on any kind of regular maintenance interval. It will probably last about as long as the camshafts, in other words, the life of the engine, which is upwards of 200K miles in these cars if they are treated well.

When do you change timing belt on your Nissan Maxima 2001?
The Nissan Maximas produced from 1995 on (VQ30DE engine) are equipped with a timing chain system, rather than a timing belt. The recommended replacement interval for 1994 and prior timing belt equipped Maximas is 60,000 miles. But for 1995 and newer Maximas with a timing chain, the recommended replacement interval is not as well-defined. Timing chains generally have a greater durability and longevity compared to timing belts, and some vehicles (not limited to Nissan) have gone well over 100,000 miles before a timing chain replacement. This particular Nissan timing system includes not just a chain, but several chains, as well as hydraulic tensioners and timing chain guides. While the chain itself is quite durable, it is possible for the other components (guides or tensioners) to wear out sooner than the chain(s). So although there is no specific recommendation on when (mileage-wise or timewise), if it is determined that one or more components have reached the end of their serviceable life, THEN would be the time to change the chain, along with the rest of the timing system components.
