Mexico does a good job on lots of things they make, and auto parts is one of them.
On our first Class C, all the Drive Belts were Vee types. This was before Serpentine. I could use "store brand" belts on the drive for the Water Pump and Power Steering. But the aftermarket A/C and the Alternator had to get Gates, Dayco, Napa, Goodyear, etc. It would EAT those lesser belts in those applications.
Anyhow, to Reload the Shotgun... If it's the Dash Air Fan squealing on startup, that Zoom Spout Oiler can lube that too. Has to come out of the vehicle. The end the Squirrel Cage is on, is easy. The "blind" end of the motor, usually has a little Cooling Air Tube. You can remove that and drip a little oil on the shaft bearing. NOT MUCH and BE CAREFUL! It's also where the Motor Brushes are.
