Detailed Description

The Roadmax 6K480AP serpentine belt is engineered to match the dimensions required by many late-model and older accessory drive systems. Its EPDM belt material is commonly used in modern drive belts for wear resistance, while the polyester cord helps maintain belt shape under load. With a 6-rib profile and K cross section, this belt is suited for applications that drive components such as the alternator, air conditioning compressor, power steering pump, water pump, or fan drive, depending on the vehicle configuration.

This part cross-references Gates 23287 and Dayco 5060480 for the same application. It is a practical replacement choice for Toyota Corolla and Toyota C-HR service, as well as Nissan Sentra fitments listed below.

Installation Notes

Verify belt routing, rib count, and measured length before installation. Confirm the vehicle build details shown in the fitment notes, especially on Toyota C-HR, Toyota Corolla, and Nissan Sentra applications where configuration and production details affect belt selection. Inspect pulleys, tensioners, and idlers for wear before installing the new belt, and make sure all belt-driven accessories turn freely.
