Over the lifespan of the Subaru Crosstrek all engines have had a timing chain and are interference.
Model Years | 2013 - 2021 |
---|---|
Engine Option | all |
Timing Belt Or Chain | timing chain |
Interference Or Non-Interference | interference |
Scroll down for detailed information on your particular Subaru Crosstrek model year. Check the belt or chain for other makes and models here.
The primary purpose of the timing belt or timing chain is to maintain the timing (syncronization) between the crankshaft and the camshaft(s).
A timing belt is made of a rubber compound while a timing chain is made of chain similiar to a bicycle chain.
A timing belt wears out over time and must be replaced at the manufacturer's specified interval. Timing belt failure can result in serious engine damage.
Although a timing chain will wear over time it is usually good for the lifetime of the engine but it should be routinely inspected.

Note: Replacement intervals are broad recommendations and can be affected by age, weather conditions, running conditions etc. Check with the owner's manual/ manufacturer/ dealership.
