tak06 Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Hi a newbie to this Forum, I'm confused in regards to a timing belt or chain on a 2008 RX350, I've always believed that the 2007 and above RX with the 3.5 L engine has a timing chain yet on this Forum someone stated that it has a belt, perhaps the belt is exclusive to the RX400H and not the regular RX350 ?

zieke Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 You are correct. timing chain on 2007 & up 3.5 engines . Hybrids ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RX400h Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 The RX400h uses a timing belt because a belt does last longer in a vehicle that is not running for some or much of the time, depending upon traffic conditions and locations. Also, belts are typically quieter than chains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaloRomeo27 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Yes all the 400h from 06 to 08 have the 3.3 engine that carried over from the 330 which has the timing belt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
care_mentor_288 Posted Thursday at 07:50 AM Share Posted Thursday at 07:50 AM My 07 RX400h has about 86,000 miles and hasn't had the timing belt changed yet... How concerned should I be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
