Timing belt OEM Toyota or DAYCO

I’ve seen the genuine Toyota belts go well over 100k before they give up. They were 60k belts years ago that would usually cross 100 and occasionally double the recommended interval before they broke.

Der erste Zahnriemen war 28 Jahre alt und hatte 105.000 km gelaufen. Beim Abnehmen merkte man, dass er merkwürdig elastisch war und die Zähne wie Gummi, aber er hat gehalten. Die Wasserpumpe und Rollen waren tadellos. Der ganze Kram war von DAYCO. Was für Qualität! Hat mir den Motor gerettet.

La voiture de mon pote avait une courroie Dayco qui était en bon état à 65 000 + miles

That’s what mine cost at my local Toyota dealer, my 06 had 70k miles and never had it done and that $1200 for a peace of mind was Money well spent in my opinion

Vote 1, for Dayco Timing belts

Anytime I’ve done or seen a Toyota timing belt done at the recommended 90k it looks like it has plenty of life left.

I've never seen a Toyota or Lexus have a belt failure. The other components idler(s) and water pump are usually the cause of catastrophic timing failure.

The timing belt on the 4.7 engine needs changing every 100k, which is stupid.

I have a 2001 Lexus LS 430. It had about 215,000 when I got the timing belt replace. It was the original and was starting to crack. If my 21 year old belt made it to 215k and didn’t break yet. Thats when I saw mine was old and cracked.

Be careful who you purchase from. I bought one a year or so ago everything was great but the timing belt itself broke. I got lucky and didn't bend any valves. Bought a Dayco belt and haven't had any problems.
