Changed mine today. Highly recommend you get serpentine kit. I used my breaker bar but had to remove filter box for more room. Use serpentine belt kit to avoid hassle. Finish belt routing on pulley shown.. Makes ur life better

Thanks again 4 great DIY!!

Replaced my belt again. This time I replaced w dealership belt. Had the advance auto part belt, Dayco Carquest. Had it for 3k & it didn't seem smooth or quiet. So far I like da dealership belt. FYI.. Go get one now cause they are trying to raise price. I paid $66 + tax.

Also get serpentine belt tool kit at harbor freight for $13 & change w 20% coupon. Didn't want to hassle w tool rental/loan. Highly recommend it. So much easier than breaker bar.

Is this what u referring to??

Mines is right at border/line. What will cause it to get out of line or go bad? Just replaced belt again.

Got my OEM belt on ebay for $45. Part # 11720EY00B. Have not put it on yet. Almost 90K on the original belt so far, still looks to be in very good condition, no noise.

I have 78k on my car and the belt looks good to be honest. Are we really supposed to be replacing these belts every 30-60k miles?

It is suggested per the INFINITI SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE GUIDE every 30K miles and for under $30

$30
I dont mind replace it.

When I replaced the belt I found it easy just to remove the splash shield.

Follow the schedule. And, FWIW, I changed the belt tensioner as well at 90K.

Car is a tad over 6 years old (11/2011 build date), 31K miles. Original belt doesn't look too bad. No cracks. From an age point, I think it's time to replace. Will likely go oem for longevity. Thoughts?

Follow the schedule. Also, look at the indicator notches on the belt tensioner to ensure you're in spec. If out of spec, then I would change the belt.
