Does the 2013 model of the Lexus RX 350 come equipped with a timing belt?

Question

Accepted Answer

The 2013 Lexus RX350 now features a timing chain in the engine, an upgrade from the timing belts previously used. The timing chain is responsible for keeping the timing gears aligned. Unlike belts that required replacement every 60,000 to 100,000 miles, the timing chain in your engine can last over 300,000 miles. It's recommended to inspect the timing chain annually for tightness and any signs of damage or debris. Additionally, it's important to change the water pump every 100,000 miles to ensure proper coolant circulation in the engine.
