The wife traded in her great 02 AWD Fe with about 120k on it (prob had another 120k+) for a new (leftover) 08 Entourage about a month ago. Since it was time to change the oil tonight I figured I needed to make a maintenance schedule for it like I do all my cars.

As I was going through the owners manual jotting everything down I did not find any mention of replacing the timing belt. I don't think I missed anything? Is this not part of regular maintenance on the Entourage's? It would be kind of cool if it wasn't, but at the same time I like the challenge.

Thanks for any insight on this.

 

The Entourage used the 3.8L version of the Theta engine. The Theta uses a timing chain, not a belt, and does not require replacement.

BTW, I bought my wife a 2006 Kia Sedona EX (twin to the Entourage). We love it.
