Maintain Proper Engine Timing with an INFINITI Timing Belt
On select INFINITI models, the timing belt synchronizes the crankshaft and camshaft so engine valves open and close at precisely the right time. Replacing the timing belt at the recommended service interval helps support dependable engine operation. INFINITI of Akron offers timing belts designed to fit eligible INFINITI vehicles.
What Does a Timing Belt Do?
The timing belt coordinates the movement of key engine components throughout every combustion cycle. Accurate timing is essential for smooth engine performance and proper valve operation.
Why Timing Belts Wear Out
Timing belts are constructed from reinforced rubber that naturally deteriorates with age, mileage, and repeated heat cycles. Oil contamination and extreme operating conditions may also shorten belt life.
When Should It Be Replaced?
Follow the maintenance schedule for your specific INFINITI model to determine replacement intervals. Cracks, fraying, missing teeth, or visible damage should be inspected promptly.

Whether you own an INFINITI QX80 or an INFINITI QX50, choosing the correct timing belt helps ensure proper compatibility. During timing belt service, many owners also inspect related water pumps and belts and hoses.
