Product Details and Specifications

The Roadmax 6K735AP serpentine belt is manufactured using EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber, known for its resistance to heat, ozone, and wear, which contributes to longer service life. The belt’s 6 ribs provide a stable grip on pulleys, reducing slippage and maintaining efficient power transfer to engine accessories such as the alternator, power steering pump, and air conditioning compressor. The polyester cord embedded within the belt adds tensile strength and flexibility, allowing it to withstand the stresses of engine operation. With a top width of 20 mm and an effective length of approximately 1867 mm, this belt fits a range of vehicle models including the Audi A6 and A6 Quattro, Buick Century and Skylark, Chevrolet S10 and S10 Blazer, GMC Sonoma, Mercedes-Benz C230 and SLK230, Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais and Cutlass Ciera, Pontiac Grand Am and Safari, and Porsche 911.
