Mitsubishi Triton Timing Chain Malaysia — 4N15 Diesel
Triton 4N15: timing CHAIN — no belt replacement needed. Diesel engines: timing chain is the standard. Regular oil changes every 5,000 km with correct diesel-spec oil are essential to protect the chain and VVT system. Chain rattle at cold start = investigate oil pressure immediately.
Triton 4N16 Timing Chain
The 4N16 diesel uses a timing chain. With correct low-SAPS diesel oil changes at 10,000 km, the chain is reliable. If wrong oil is used (non-DPF rated high-SAPS), chain wear accelerates. Cold start diesel rattle is normal until oil pressure builds — listen for rattles that persist beyond 5 seconds or worsen during acceleration.
