Hey Scotty.
I have a 2008 Lexus RX 350 with 102,000 miles, so I’m going to replace the drive belt. If I go to Lexus’ Parts site their replacement belt is over $66! I did see a YouTube video where a mechanic was talking about Toyota drive belts, and it showed Bando as the belt brand. Should I just get that brand as long as the OEM# is the same? Or do you (and our community) have a recommendation for a good aftermarket drive belt brand?
Thanks!
Omar
I would get the OEM. How much are you gonna save with aftermarket? 40 bucks?
Yaser, yes, about $40 bucks or so. RockAuto, for example, has the Bando belt for $8.51.
I would get OEM.
OEM or high quality aftermarket, such as a Gates.
Just an fyi, the video I referenced in first post above, where the belt showed Bando as the brand, also had Toyota printed on the belt.
