Title: Cam chain
Post by: Jeff-C on November 01, 2019, 07:40:55 pm

Hi peeps. I've read somewhere that the cam chain on my 2.2 diesel engine should last the life time of the engine, is this really the case???

Thanks everyone

Yes, providing the oil is changed at the correct interval.

Thanks Anchorman. Looks like I'll be changing the oil every 6k as our present use means it's doing very low daily mileage, which means the oil level is rising way too quick. Thanks again for the reply
