Do a 2008 Chevrolet Malibu have a timing belt or timing chain?

Answer 1

The 2008 Chevrolet Malibu is equipped with a timing chain, not a timing belt. Timing chains are generally more durable and require less frequent replacement compared to timing belts. The 2008 Malibu's engine is designed to have the timing chain last for the life of the vehicle under normal driving conditions.
