Lexus LS 460/500h – No Timing Belt (Chain Only)
Neither LS variant has a timing belt. The 1UR-FSE (LS 460) and V35A-FTS (LS 500h) both use oil-lubricated timing chains with no service interval. Zero belt cost throughout LS ownership. Regular 0W-20 oil changes protect chain life.
LS: Timing Belt or Chain?
All LS engines use timing chains — the 1UR-FSE V8 and all LS 500h V6 variants. No timing belt service on the LS. Maintain with 0W-20 full synthetic at 10,000 km.
