Is there a timing belt or chain in the 2008 Lexus RX 350?

Question

Accepted Answer

In 2008, the Lexus RX350 made a switch from using a timing belt to a timing chain. This change is welcomed by many because the timing chain is low-maintenance compared to belts. Typically, a chain can last as long as your engine does under optimal conditions. However, there is still a risk of it breaking over time. To reduce this risk, it is important to regularly change your oil and ensure you maintain the proper oil levels. A lack of oil can lead to the chain drying up and increasing the chances of it failing.
