    143000miles

    My car done 143000 miles, I know they have chains instead of timing belt. Is it recommended to get the chain changed at this point?

    Its more a case of the engine lasts the life of the chain

    I wouldnt change one specially no, you wil have other issues like worn bearings and piston rings before the chain needs doing.
