Having a car with a chain-driven timing system certainly has the advantage of not needing to periodically replace the classic toothed belt (replacement is usually required every 62,000 miles or five years), but it does require some care in regular maintenance, particularly in the choice of engine oil, as the chain operates in an oil bath; high-quality oil and regular (possibly even earlier than the recommended mileage) changes will help preserve the chain from wear; however, there is a possibility that the chain may stretch to the point where even the tensioner cannot compensate for this stretch, resulting in noise.
