The timing chain on a Subaru Tribeca is designed to last the life of the engine, typically requiring no regular replacement like a timing belt. However, it’s crucial to have it inspected if you notice any unusual noises, engine performance issues, or if the vehicle has high mileage (over 100,000 miles). If there are signs of wear or if you’re performing a major engine service, it may be prudent to replace it at that time. Always consult the owner's manual and a trusted mechanic for specific recommendations.

The 2013 Subaru Outback has a FB25 engine, which uses a timing chain.
By drive belt; I assume you mean a timing belt. On a 3.0 H-6, there is a timing chain in place of the belt (Very durable). It is housed behind cast aluminum timing chain covers on the front of the engine. On an engine with a timing belt, I would do the change myself; but I recommend that a timing chain be replaced by a Subaru dealer simply for the fact that the tension, alignment, and timing can be hard to set yourself with a chain.
