The timing belt in a Lexus should be replaced every 75,000 miles or 5 years, whichever comes first. It is important to replace the timing belt within this interval because it is subject to continuous heat and cooling, which can cause wear and tear. Additionally, the belt is held in tension by a bearing that also wears out over time. It is recommended to have the timing belt replaced by a qualified auto repair technician.
