how often to change serpentine belt
How often does the serpentine belt need to be replaced? Even though automotive manufacturers do not provide any mileage intervals for serpentine belt replacement, they should be changed periodically as part of an overall preventative maintenance plan. Many experts suggest replacement every four or five years or 45,000 to 50,000 miles.
Serpentine belts typically last approximately 4 years or 40,000 miles.If you have put that many miles on in two years, it may be time. If you trust your mechanic, follow his/her advice and replace it. If not, get a 2nd opinion. You also may want to confirm it is the serpentine belt and not the timing belt.
