As a side note to this thread. Your dealer may have lubricated the pins on the rear calipers at your last brake reline. But the road salt in NJ will attack all of those parts very aggressively. Here in NE Ohio we get tons of salt every Winter and it ruins every brake component in 1/2 the normal time. My 2011 Es came from NW Ohio (certified used) where they get 1/3 the snowfall and therefore 1/3 the salt. The amount of corrosion on the underside of the car is almost zero in comparison. So you should spec a complete brake job with new lubricant and brake fluid bleed and flush at every reline. I get 200k out of calipers and rotors if I do this even in the harsh severe service environment that I drive in.

Correct, timing chain beginning with the 2007 model.
