Should I replace the Timing chain in my 2006 Chevy Trailblazer?

Hello!  I have a 2006 Chevy Trailblazer EXT 4.2 v6 automatic 4wd It has almost 215,000 miles and original motor still. I was told it needed a new timing chain. The engine does burn oil. I have to top it off probably every 1500 miles after I have changed the oil. So maybe half way through the fresh oil change. Is it possible to just replace only the bas timing chain and the engine possibly last a little longer or should I just let the motor go out and replace the whole thing?  Ty so much!  I appreciate it.

That engine is non interference.  Don't even worry about it and if it does ever break just put a new  chain on. It is much cheaper just to keep adding oil than replace the engine.

How much oil are you adding between oil changes?
