Default Drive Belt and Engine Oil cooler line




Replaced both for preventative measures and the RX being 11 y/o at 95k, not bad. As for the drive belt, that's the only worn part.

Yes those 2010 rubber hoses are prone to break. 2011 models use metal pipes and no need to replace.

Good call on the oil pipes/tubes.

Don't you follow the suggested maintenance in the warranty and service handbook? If not then there might be more than the belt that needs replacement.

I try to. Just had the spark plugs replaced, differential oil replaced, transmission oil replaced last year. I'll look again to see which one I need to address as planning on keeping this RX for another 4 years before wifey gets a new one.
