Enam Rahman Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Hi everyone I have just bought a 2011 toyota velfire 3.5 V6. Don't know much these motors but just wondering about timing belt change as my vehicle has done 72k. I am looking forward to taking delivery early next week.

Timing belt will not need changing. Your engine is fitted with a chain system ! Unfortunately, I don't know what the recommended mileage is for new chains (mine has belt) system; but others will.

Enam Rahman Posted May 14, 2023 Author Share Posted May 14, 2023 Thanks for that quick response but I was told the 2.4 is chain driven and the 3.5 is belt driven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2.4 is chain, the 3.0 is belt, the 3.5 is chain. Timing chains do not, usually, need renewing. I don't know whether your engine has tensioners, most engines do. Tensioners can need renewing from time to time. If I'm wrong, I am sure other 3.5L owners will point that out pdq ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a long thread on this topic. There are several opinions. Some say yes others say no ! Some members report E5 gives better economy, even factoring the cost. Others dispute this. Me? I run E5 unless not available. Search for E5 or E10 in this Forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
