When it lets go on your\n  J-series V6, you don't lose one thing, you lose all three at the same time, and you're coasting onto the\n  shoulder with a dead battery light, a steering wheel that suddenly weighs a ton, and warm air blowing out\n  the vents. The worst part? It barely warns you. By the time you hear that squeal or watch your voltage\n  start dipping, the belt's already living on borrowed time. So get ahead of it. This is the Gates K060841,\n  a direct OEM-spec replacement that drops right onto a ton of J-series Honda and Acura V6s.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy You Want The Gates One\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Let's cut to it: Gates actually supplies belts to Honda from the factory, so you're not gambling on some\n  no-name belt that's a rough copy of the real thing, you're getting the real thing. The K060841's a 6-rib\n  Micro-V, 84-5\/8\" around with a .807\" top width, built from EPDM rubber on a polyester cord. That EPDM\n  shrugs off heat and cracking way better than the old neoprene belts ever did, and the polyester cord\n  keeps it from stretching, so your tension stays put for the life of the belt. Gates rates it to meet or\n  beat the SAE J1459, J2432, and J1596 specs, and they built it around the automatic tensioner, backside\n  idler, and tight little pulleys that Honda runs on the J-series drive. Bottom line, it's made for your\n  car, not forced to fit it.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHere's How You Actually Know It's Worn\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Pay attention to this one, because these belts will fool you. Back in the day, a worn belt cracked and\n  frayed and you could spot it in two seconds. Not anymore. EPDM belts like this don't really crack, they\n  just quietly wear the ribs down thinner and thinner while the belt looks totally fine from up top. So you\n  can't just eyeball it and call it good. Grab a belt wear gauge (they're a couple bucks, every parts store\n  has them) and check the rib depth. If it's worn to the indicators, it's done, doesn't matter how clean it\n  looks. And if your J-series is sitting anywhere in that 60,000 to 100,000 mile range on its original\n  belt, don't wait for it to get loud. Just do it now.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhile You're In There, Check What Spins It\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Do yourself a favor and don't just slap the new belt on and walk away. Spin that idler pulley by hand and\n  feel for any roughness or wobble in the bearing, and check that your tensioner still pushes back with\n  real spring to it and isn't bottomed out. Why's it matter? Because a tired old tensioner will chew\n  through your brand-new belt faster than the last one ever wore out, and then you're right back under the\n  hood doing this all over again. If yours feels weak, swap it while you're in there. Gates says the same\n  thing, and they'd know. Do it once, do it right, and your new belt actually gets to go the distance.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003ePutting It On\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  When it's time to install, follow the routing diagram, it's on a sticker under your hood or on the\n  radiator support, don't try to do it from memory. Release the automatic tensioner, pull the old belt off,\n  thread the new one exactly like the diagram shows, and ease the tensioner back down onto it. That's the\n  whole job. Just give your routing one last look before you let that tensioner go, because a belt that's\n  off by one pulley won't drive everything right and you'll be redoing it.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eJust So We're Clear On What This Is\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Real quick, so your expectations are set: this is a maintenance part, not a power adder. You're putting\n  your car back to how it ran from the factory, not making it faster. But don't sleep on it either, a worn\n  belt quietly drags down everything it spins, and a snapped one leaves you stranded with no charging, no\n  steering assist, and no A\/C all at once. A fresh belt is about the cheapest insurance you'll ever buy\n  against a really bad afternoon.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePart number: Gates K060841\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eType: Micro-V serpentine drive belt\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRib count: 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOutside circumference: 84-5\/8\" (2149mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEffective length: 84.06\" (2135mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTop width: .807\" (20mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBelt material: EPDM\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCord material: polyester\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandards: meets or exceeds SAE J1459, J2432, J1596\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFits These Cars\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2005-2012 Acura RL (J35A 3.5L V6)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2004-2008 Acura TL (J32A 3.2L V6)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2003-2013 Acura MDX (J35A 3.5L V6)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2010-2013 Acura ZDX (J37A 3.7L V6)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2003-2012 Honda Accord (J30A \/ J35A 3.0L \/ 3.5L V6)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2010-2012 Honda Accord Crosstour \/ Crosstour (J35A 3.5L V6)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2005-2017 Honda Odyssey (J35A 3.5L V6)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2005-2015 Honda Pilot (J35A 3.5L V6)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2006-2014 Honda Ridgeline (J35A 3.5L V6)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Note: Gates K060841 Micro-V serpentine drive belt for Honda and Acura J-series V6 engines. A 6-rib belt\n  at 84-5\/8\" (2149mm) outside circumference, 84.06\" (2135mm) effective length, and .807\" (20mm) top width,\n  made from EPDM rubber with a polyester cord for heat and crack resistance and low stretch, and rated to\n  meet or exceed SAE J1459, J2432, and J1596. Designed for the automatic tensioner, backside idler, and\n  small-diameter pulley layout Honda uses on the J-series accessory drive. This belt fits J-series V6\n  engines only; a 4-cylinder Accord (K24) uses a different belt, so confirm you have the V6. Replaces Honda\n  OEM part numbers 56992-R70-A01, 56992-RN0-A01, 56992-RV0-A01, 56992-RV0-A02, 56992-RV0-A03, 56992-RKB-004,\n  and 38920-RCA-A03. Inspect the tensioner and idler pulley when replacing the belt, and replace a weak,\n  high-mileage tensioner at the same time. Fits the 2005-2012 Acura RL, 2004-2008 Acura TL, 2003-2013\n  Acura MDX, 2010-2013 Acura ZDX, 2003-2012 Honda Accord V6, 2010-2012 Honda Accord Crosstour\/Crosstour,\n  2005-2017 Honda Odyssey, 2005-2015 Honda Pilot, and 2006-2014 Honda Ridgeline.
