1998 ES300 Timing Belt Scheduled Maintenence
I have 178,000 miles on my '98 ES300. I changed the timing belt at 93,000.
The service manual states that the ES300 is the exception to the 90,000 mile rule. However, it does not state when a ES300 timing belt "should" be changed.
Anybody know the correct,scheduled maintence for a 1998 ES300 Timing Belt?
I'm thinking about having it changed at 90,000 ,just to be on the safe side.
Thoughts??

Question, i bought our 97 ES with 161,000 already on it, when i checked the Carfox it only showed when it was taken in for maintenance but it doesn't show what it went in for, how do i know if the TB was ever changed?

you wont..i would replace it to be sure..90k is the usual recommendation anyway so ur not far out from needing to do it again even if it was changed..es300 to pretty to be on the side of the freeway!!!!! im sure a technician could tell you once the belt is off if its original or not...
