Looks like the mechanic was just guessing. I'm not a fan of going to the stealership either but they would have been able to quickly confirm if it had the TP or not. Looks like you'll need to get that VVT-i bank 1 line and cooler lines put on. I'm not sure if it's still under warranty in Georgia.
I got the oil cooler line replaced yesterday very easy job it took the mechanic less that 30 minutes the bolts were not rusted at all came off easy, the old part the rubber seemed to be still in very good condition very flexible still, but I'm glad to have the new stainless steel part put in. Thanks for everyone's help, In 2 weeks I will be replacing the VVT-i
From the above posts and youtube videos I don't think my 2010 rx 450h has any rubber lines. Can anyone help me confirm?
- radiator < 1" thick
- 2GR-FXE engine on hood sticker
- can't find oil cooler
- vvt-i seems to be all metal
Can't see an oil cooler Here either Bad angle, but for sure less than an inch thick This and the sticker on the hood both say 2GR-FXE. May be a red herring, but searches say this engine didn't have the rubber line oil cooler anyway. VVT-I appears to be all metal from this view

It does not look like you have it. Do you have a tow package. I was told I did not but it turned out I did by checking my Vin.
There’s nothing in the vin decoder that I used to indicate anything about a tow package. So I think we’re in the clear. What vin decoder did you use? I used:https://www.vindecoderz.com/
There are 2 VVTi oil lines, I see bank 2 (rad side) in your pic, but do see a pic of the bank 1 VVTi line (firewall side). Note this is separate from oil cooler lines if equipped, all 2GRs have VVTi lines.

@Mesquite77 Ahh ok, I will look for the other one, thank you!
I live on Kauai and here in Hawaii all Toyota is done through Servco. Oddly my vin won't even work on the main lexus site because they're all done via Servco

Wow that is crazy, well maybe call a Lexus dealer in the lower 50? and see if your vin comes up?
They call them half moon wrenches but they come in 3 different shapes (?) The other shape has a straight section and opposing curves and wouldn't fit in there. And the third kind has a straight section that makes it too long.
