mystery!
I read a post last week (I think it was from the Judge) about the mystery oil.
I too bought some yesterday at the parts store. I will post results within a
couple of days. I'll check my mileage too. I added it to my gas tank.
As far as squeaking belts go, I have come to the conclusion that when they start
squeaking they are either too loose are too worn. Never has belt dressing worked
for me.
I replace my alternator belt about once every nine months due to it squeaking.
It needs replacement this frequently because it is not properly aligned to the
main pulley. But all I do is cut the old one off with a knife, put the new one
around the alternator pulley, and wrap it as much as I can around the main
pulley in the clockwise direction. Then I get in the car and turn the key. The
belt goes on automatically and is properly tensioned.
I always use the OEM belt, I have had no luck with any others.
