Thanks! Ive been reading up and there is a nice tutorial here that shows what to do on a camry v6 but the components looks virtually identical. I do have a small leak and I'm hoping it might be this. I haven't looked yet bc it is cold outside and my wife drives the car but I am pretty sure it is the rubber replacement bc Ive checked my invoice. So for this weekend, I will check to see if they even actually changed it and then where the leak is. If it indeed is leaking here, I might replace it with the all metal piece.

Wondering about the vvt-i oil line on my 2008 rx350 I recently purchased. I’ve read about the Limited Service Campaign LSC 9 LH being extended to 12-31-21. I have read here that if mine was repaired it was only to install another rubber line and not the whole line with all metal. I understand the new rubber hose has a yellow line on it. I see that on mine so I assume it has been done. Will check with the local Lexus dealer. But my questions here are:

1. Is the replacement hose rubber better than the original? (I see no leaks)
2. If so how?
3. Would you recommend getting the all metal one or am I ok?
4. Other suggestions/info?

Thanks for all replies to come I hope.

Updated rubber hose is better but still miles behind the all metal one.
