I had a squeaking coming from the engine I checked the belts and pulleys nothing there and seemed to hear it more from the back of the engine....I did an oil change b/c I was a little over and it stopped for a day or so...and now it's back. Has anyone else had this happen with their cars?

Thanks Brandon

How long has it been since you have changed the drive belts?

My pulleys were tight and they still made noise. Cause was aftermarket goodyear belts. Put on factory from dealer, problem solved.

If you don't have the fund's or means to change. You can try belt dressing for a temp solution. Can be found at local auto parts store.
