Select INFINITI engines rely on a timing belt to synchronize critical internal engine components. Replacing a worn timing belt at the recommended service interval helps maintain proper valve timing and dependable engine operation. INFINITI of Orland Park carries timing belts designed for eligible INFINITI models.

How a Timing Belt Works

The timing belt connects the crankshaft and camshaft, coordinating valve movement with piston position throughout every combustion cycle. Accurate timing is essential for smooth engine performance.

What Causes Timing Belt Wear?

Heat, mileage, engine vibration, and natural aging gradually wear the reinforced rubber construction of a timing belt. Oil contamination may also reduce its service life.

Know When Replacement Is Due

Follow your owner's manual for recommended replacement intervals. Cracks, frayed edges, missing teeth, or visible deterioration should be addressed promptly.

Complete Your Timing Belt Service

Whether you own an INFINITI QX60 or an INFINITI QX80, choosing the correct timing belt helps ensure proper compatibility. During service, many owners also inspect water pumps and belts and hoses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do all INFINITI vehicles have timing belts?

No. Many INFINITI engines use timing chains instead. The type depends on the engine and model year.

Can a timing belt fail without warning?

Because timing belts wear internally over time, following the recommended replacement schedule is important even if no obvious symptoms are present.

Why replace the water pump during timing belt service?

Since both components are often accessible during the same repair, many technicians recommend inspecting or replacing them together.
