Aren't all Xs a single serpentine belt? Not sure.

By the way, a "." now and then would be helpful.

Keep the tips coming!

Serpentine belts (flat ribbed belts), which are also called "Poly-V, Poly-Rib and Micro V" are so named because of the snake-like path they often follow around the pulleys. The flat design reduces heat buildup in the belt so the belt generally lasts longer than a comparable V-belt. A recommended replacement interval for serpentine belts suggested by one manufacturer is every 50,000 miles, or sooner if the belt has become glazed and is making noise.
