The general recommendation is to replace the serpentine belt in your car every 60,000 to 100,000 miles or every 5 to 7 years, whichever comes first. However, it is important to consult your car's owner's manual or reach out to a certified mechanic to determine the specific maintenance schedule for your vehicle model, as requirements may vary. Additionally, regular inspections of the belt for signs of wear, cracks, frayed edges, or loss of tension should be conducted to ensure its optimal performance.

The frequency of replacing a car's serpentine belt can vary depending on several factors such as the make and model of the vehicle, the type of belt used, and the driving conditions. However, it is generally recommended to replace the serpentine belt every 60,000 to 100,000 miles or every 5-7 years, whichever comes first. It is important to regularly inspect the belt for signs of wear, cracking, glazing, or fraying and replace it if any issues are detected.
