Bando USABando USA 6PK2135 OEM Quality Serpentine Belt

It's periodic preventive maintenance time again for our 2013 Pilot, and the original belt is showing some discoloration on the back while the ribs are starting to check a bit. Car is now over a dozen years old but only about 60k miles, so the cracking starting to show in the ribs is almost certainly age-related rather than due to wear from mileage. Regardless, the Bando belt easily replaces the original one after all its loyal and reliable service. This one is identical in shape and size to that original, and installed easily in minutes using just a long flex-handle ratchet and socket. Looks very pretty compared to the original one that had faded to a dirty brown on the back. Most importantly, no worries about issues with the rib cracking, at least not for another dozen-plus years at the rate we use the car.More --This belt generally gets changed as part of the timing belt, water pump, tensioners and guide rollers replacement exercise every 105K miles or so per Honda's recommendation. I replaced the timing belt a year or so ago out of concern for the age only, but left the original accessory drive belt in place as it looked fine. At service and inspection time this year though, the rib cracking got my attention, so the replacement belt was ordered and installed. I'm a very strong proponent of PM (Preventive or Proactive Maintenance), since it saves us from a lot of the surprise events that seem to strand people and/or cause much larger damage. For me anyway, PM like this keeps me from being that guy stuck on the side of the desert highway with steam pouring out. Or worse, with warped heads and head gaskets failed. Or worse-worse, if it's mrs dr bob instead of me. I hate getting stranded by stooopid stuff, especially when the insurance is so cheap, and the fix so easy and convenient in my own garage. Vs. along the side of that desert highway.I can't speak to longevity yet. Bando has been an OEM supplier to several Japanese car and equipment manufacturers for decades, so I have no worries at this point. If signs of failure start to show up at annual services time, I'll be sure to report back with those results. For now though, the fit and apparent quality are sufficient to recommend this belt for this service.

Ive used this on a 2008 Acura TL. I bought this serpentine belt hoping it would fix my squeak and it did! No more noise. After replacing every suspicious pulley touched by the serpentine belt, and getting a new local autoparts serpentine belt, i was confused why the engine bay area was still squeaking. This belt promises no noise and it delivers, though it looks similar to the other belt I was using. The ridges on this belt seem to promote better traction.

Fast Shipper, Good Product & Good Price

Fixed my belt squeak. I took off a belt that had only been on 25,000 miles and put on this belt. Quality looked good, ran quiet, best of all - Made In USA!!!!

It's After market product. Fitting is nice we can easily fit ,if we have basic knowledge. But for quality we can't say now. Belt have self life around 50k mile. We waiting for quality......

Great quality product! Bought it for my 2006 Acura TL because I had chirp coming from my serpentine belt. Once I threw this one on, it was gone.

This is the OEM belt and it's made in the USA. Great quality as the original one was changed at 70K and had no signs of wear. Maint interval suggest 100K, just like spark plugs but I would do both by 75K

Best belts period.
