2.2 Ecotec engine initially didn't supply enough oil to the chain at low oil pressures. I think they put a bigger oil jet in it around 2003. It was claimed that most of the people with timing chain failures had stick shifts and a habit of shifting at low rpm. Myself, I'll upshift at 2000-2500 if I can get the desired acceleration at that engine speed, so they might be talking about drivers just like me.
