LEXUS NX200T REAR MAIN SEAL OIL LEAK EDMONTON (2.0T)
The Lexus NX200t (2015-2021) with the 8AR-FTS 2.0T engine shares the same rear main crankshaft seal failure as the IS200t. As a compact luxury crossover, the NX200t is one of the most popular Lexus models in Edmonton — and this is one of the most common repairs Auto Imports performs on it.
NX200T REAR MAIN SEAL
- Same 8AR-FTS engine as IS200t: seal fails 80,000-120,000 km
- Oil on bellhousing between engine and CVT/automatic transmission
- NX200t uses CVT (Lexus branded): removes differently than traditional automatic
- Repair: $1,800-$3,200 — CVT removal slightly more complex than
traditional automatic
ALSO: NX200T OIL CONSUMPTION
