The 2008 Lexus RX400h is equipped with a timing chain instead of a timing belt, which is beneficial for your vehicle and your finances since timing belt replacements can be costly. Timing chains typically last the entire lifespan of your car unless there is a major issue. While chains are durable, it is important to maintain them properly. One crucial maintenance task is to change your oil at the recommended intervals, which for you is about every 10,000 miles. It is also essential to regularly check your oil levels to ensure they are within the recommended range on the dipstick, and refill or change the oil as needed.
