Default 2013 Oil Cooler line issue

[Hi... was wondering if you can see the oil cooler line from engine compartment? I looked tween the dipstick and alt and do not see it. Is it possiblythat I do not have one? The CUV doesn't have a tow receiver. Any help would be appreciated. I guess I could take off the under armor to see. Thanks all!

IIRC 2013 and up came with metal lines, but you only have an oil cooler if your car came with the "tow prep" package. Note that package gives you the oil cooler and higher amp alternator, but does NOT include a trailer hitch. (if 2010+ same as previous gen RX350...)

You need to examine the engine from underneath (lay on ground, around the center of the car and look up at the engine near the oil filter) to see the oil cooler lines, if you have them. And yes, 2013 came with metal lines, so you have nothing to worry about if you do have the tow prep package.
