Proton X50 Timing Chain Malaysia — No Belt
X50 1.5T 3-cylinder direct injection: timing chain — no belt replacement needed. Change engine oil every 10,000 km with 0W-20 fully synthetic. Direct injection carbon buildup at 60,000–80,000 km is a separate concern — walnut blast cleaning recommended.
Proton X50 1.5T TGDi uses a timing CHAIN — no scheduled replacement needed. If chain rattles on cold start, suspect tensioner or oil pressure issue — keep oil changes regular.
