Timing Chain Service due at 22k miles?
I just took my Z in for an oil change at 37k miles and they said they recommended a timimg chain service at 22k miles....and I had missed it. I told them to go ahead and do it for 80$ but I kinda feel like it isn't necessary or they are just after some easy money. Has anyone heard of such a procedure? what does it involve or did I just get ripped off?

BS!! There is no major service required until 102k miles. And I belive the Z no longer requires a "timing belt" replacement because it has a chain. If it did the service would be more like $800.00 not 80.00.
My 22k service did cost around 250.00 though. Can't remember what was involved but no mention of a timing belt.

I agree I have been snickered. It is a Dealer Recommended Service, not a Factory Recommended Service. They basically flushed my engine oil. --->>Colonial Nissan Feasterville PA

I just looked at the pdf manual for 05. No mention of timing chain service. I have a 94 Altima with timing chain that has 163K miles on it, the chain has never been serviced or adjusted, not even the idler sprockets. So I think this service might be just to get money from the customer.

I have a shop here in Houston. I am curious as to what this "service" entails. Could you fax me the service order? I think you just found me a new money maker....timing chain service....$80 a pop. If it was a tensioner, belt/chain, cam or crank sprocket, or anything that would involve retiming the car, I would charge at least $250 plus parts. Maybe this dealer intends to spray some parts cleaner on it and call it a day.
