Need info on '03 Corolla S engine

I'm new to Toyota and to this forum, so please cut me some slack if I sound like a moron. My daughter just bought an 03 Corolla S model with AT and a 130HP 1.8 liter engine with 57K miles on the odo. She bought it from the original owner and it's very clean and looks well cared for. But it didn't have an owner's manual with it so I need to know a couple of things about it. First of all, is it a timing belt or timing chain engine? If it's a belt drive what is the replacement interval mileage? Is it an interferance engine? What is the auto tranny service interval and does the screen need to be cleaned at every fluid change? I guess that's all I need to know for now unless some good hearted soulout there knows something else I should know about keeping the little jewel well fed and happy..

Your engine has a timing chain. Don't know if it is a interference engine or not. Not sure of service interval for tranny/differential but I change mine around 15,000-20.000. Have never had to change filter on mine as it seems to stay clean. Might want to check into a coolant change if it hasn't been done as the service interval is listed at 30,000.
