3.5 litre is the M272 engine

Double row chain drives intake cam shafts, exhaust cams driven from gear off of intake cam.
I've never heard of it as a "maintenance" item.

saw this thread...so anywhere between 150-250k miles, maybe more...I think the rest of the car will have to be replaced before that chain.
I know old Nissan Maximas had chain and it had to be replaced at 120-140k miles.
