Parts for your 2022 Toyota Land cruiser-Timing belt kit

2022 Toyota Land Cruiser timing-belt-kit — do you need one?

Short answer: no, a timing-belt-kit isn’t used on the 2022 Toyota Land Cruiser (300 Series), so it’s not a relevant part for this model. Both LC300 engines — the 3.3L twin-turbo V6 diesel (F33A-FTV) and the 3.5L twin-turbo V6 petrol (V35A-FTS) — run timing chains rather than belts.

This isn’t just hearsay. Toyota’s global LC300 launch material for 2021 details the new V6 powertrains, and Toyota’s Repair Manual and Electronic Parts Catalogue for the 300 Series list timing chain components and show no timing belt or belt service interval for 2022-on models. Major aftermarket catalogues used in Australia and New Zealand (e.g., Gates, Dayco) also don’t list a timing-belt-kit for the 2022 Land Cruiser, noting the use of a chain instead.

Why no timing-belt-kit? Chains suit the LC300’s brief: high torque, towing, off-road reliability, and long service life. A timing chain runs in oil inside the engine, is designed for the life of the vehicle under normal conditions, and doesn’t need scheduled replacement like a rubber belt typically would. That’s one less major service item to budget for on a 2022 Land Cruiser.

While there’s no timing-belt-kit to replace, good servicing habits keep the chain system happy. Toyota’s local schedules call for regular oil and filter changes (commonly every 6 months/10,000 km in AU/NZ conditions). Clean, correct-spec oil is vital because the chain tensioners are oil-fed. If an LC300 ever develops a rattly start-up noise, fault codes, or poor running, a technician should check oil pressure, guides, and tensioners — but that’s uncommon with proper servicing.

• Use the specified engine oil grade and change it on time, especially if towing or touring long distances.
• Listen for unusual chain noise at cold start, get it checked if anything sounds off.
• Keep an eye out for front cover or cam cover leaks and fix them promptly.

So, if shopping for a 2022-toyota-land-cruiser timing-belt-kit, they won’t find one — because the LC300 simply doesn’t use a belt. Focus instead on quality oil, filters, and sticking to the service schedule to keep that chain setup silky and dependable under the bonnet.

FAQs

Does the 2022 Land Cruiser have a timing belt or a timing chain?
It has a timing chain. Both the 3.3L V6 diesel and the 3.5L V6 petrol in the LC300 use chains, not belts, which is why a timing-belt-kit doesn’t apply to this model.

Do I ever need to replace a timing belt on a 2022 Land Cruiser?
No — there’s no belt to replace. The timing chain is engineered for long service life. With the right oil and regular servicing, the chain system typically remains maintenance-free.

What maintenance keeps the LC300 timing chain in good shape?
Stick to Toyota’s service intervals (often every 6 months/10,000 km locally), use the correct oil grade, and replace the oil filter on time. If you notice start-up rattles or warning lights, have a technician inspect the chain, guides, and tensioner.
