I am installing a new serpentine tensioner on my 01gt and I was wondering if I needed to add any kind of lubricant to it.

Thanks in advance for your help.

just an OEM replacement for like $35.My stock one was screwed.When the a/c kicked in, the pulley would rub the cover behind it.Figured I would change it before it made a hole.Working fine now.

thanks guys
