Belt and oil questions
Hi all:
Since i am not mechanically inclined and question a serpentine belt breaking on a car I may buy, What all on the yaris is controlled by the drive belt ? Just the alternator and water pump ? Also, if a car always has Amsoil synthetic , is it dangerous to go back and use valvoline oil ? |

Also the compressor..guess Air conditioning, i read a post on the belt since mine is making noises
 , about the oil teh point is ..if you use mineral stay mineral, if you switch to sinthetic stay sinthethic, you can change from mineral to synt, but not reverse...
