It works by circulating engine oil through a series of small heat conductive passages that are exposed to either airflow (air to oil type) or coolant (water to oil type), depending on the design. Good quality synthetic oil begins to lose protection and lubrication properties generally around 300F and breaks down completely before 500F.

For these to all function correctly, an accessory drive belt tensioner applies the proper amount of tension on the belt to keep it from slipping and ensure the entire system is running smoothly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are three main styles of accessory belt tensioners, the most popular being the “Automatic” tensioner. An automatic accessory drive belt tensioner is spring-loaded to maintain constant tension on the belt. Some European cars use a hydraulic-style tensioner, which is slightly more complicated but less prone to bouncing or vibrations if one of the accessories is not in top shape. Finally, a manual accessory drive belt tensioner uses a screw and an arm that needs to be manually adjusted. These are usually found on classic cars and need to be checked as part of regular maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen an automatic tensioner is failing, you will notice an abnormal amount of bouncing or vibration, usually in conjunction with a bad pulley bearing. Hydraulic tensioners will fail similarly, by losing their ability to damp the vibrations in the system and begin to bounce. Sometimes they can also leak, although the amount of fluid in a hydraulic tensioner is small, so it would be hard to detect. If your belt system is bouncing or wobbling due to slack in the tensioner, replace the tensioner and associated components to do a full belt service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccessory Drive Belt Tensioner Assembly Failure Symptoms\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSlack in the belt:\u003c\/strong\u003e If the accessory drive belt tensioner is going bad, you will notice the belt bounce and hop due to the inability of the tensioner to apply even constant pressure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePulley Bearing Failure: \u003c\/strong\u003eMany accessory drive belt tensioners have a pulley integrated into the assembly.
