Now that its cold in the mornings I get this slight high pitched squeel from my motor when its cold. Is the alt going? Its original with about 130,000 miles on it.

Or try the silicone lubricant. I like it better. But just my opinion. Either should fix it. The reason it squeals is the cold takes away the flexibility and makes the belt stiff. You may want to invest in a new belt. Good luck
