I am seeing and reading on how easy it is to replace the serpentine belt on the is350. I have a 2010 with 87,000 miles and it is the original belt. My questions are as follows:

1. Do I need to know anything special with a 2010 is350 that may be different than a different year is350 for this diy?

2. What belt are most people having good luck other than oem? Dayco, Bando, etc .... Suggestions?

Thanks!!

1. The DIY for serpentine belt is same from 06- 2013.
2. OEM is not that expensive so why do you need to buy aftermarket belt? Most of us here use OEM belt instead of aftermarket one.

The entire belt replacement is very basic :

1) Remove the plastic covers to access everything you need to.
2) Using what I think was a 14mm socket on the tension pulley, turn the wrench to the direction where it adds slack onto the belt.
3) Remove belt.
4) Run the NEW belt around all of the accessories you can; this will be all except one.
5) Add tension onto the tensioner pulley again in the same manner as previous to allow you enough slack to run the belt onto the last accessory.

DONE!

I run an OEM.
