I use a little STP Belt Dressing, it always does the trick! Can get it at almost any auto part store

You could just replace the belt. Cost me like $30 when I did it two weeks ago. Stopped squeaking.

Fix the problem. Don't just delay it with some lube.

Well my belt is a new Goodyear Gatorback, it sometime squeaks if I have to wash my engine. By all means, if it is squeaking because if age, def just replace it. It will sometimes squeak a little after a wash though.

no its a new belt its only got maybe a thousand miles on it, and its only occured since its gotten cold, seems to happen alot because the moisture condenses, someone was telling me. so stp belt dressing it is.

That Stp Belt Dressings Just Makes Mine Extremely Loud. I Just Use Some Extra Strength Silicon Spray From Wal-mart. Does The Trick For Awhile. It Will Come Back But Not Real Soon If You Lube It Real Good.
