> What is the recommended service interval for the 318 timing chain?

I asked one of the "service advisor" androids at the dealership this same
question for my 3.9L V6.

His incredibly useful answer? "It's a chain, it'll never break. There is
no service interval."

In retrospect, I probably should have gotten that in writing.
