Product Details and Specifications

The Roadmax 6K1073AP serpentine belt is made from EPDM, a synthetic rubber known for its resistance to heat, ozone, and wear, which helps extend belt life under typical engine conditions. The belt’s 6-rib configuration and 20 mm top width provide stable power transmission to accessory components such as the alternator, power steering pump, and air conditioning compressor. Polyester cords embedded within the belt enhance tensile strength and flexibility, reducing the risk of stretching or cracking. With an effective length of approximately 107.35 inches, this belt fits specific models including Buick Century, Ford Taurus, Jaguar S-Type, Lincoln LS, Mercury Sable, and Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera and Cruiser.

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the belt routing matches the vehicle’s accessory drive diagram before installation. Inspect pulleys and tensioners for wear or damage to prevent premature belt failure. Use proper tensioning tools to achieve manufacturer-recommended belt tension. Avoid twisting or forcing the belt during installation to maintain integrity of the polyester cords and EPDM material.
