A temporary solution to the squeaking of the serpentine belt.

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: V-belt

In this video we see an example for those cases where the service belt squeaks during the friction of the first few minutes during start-up, on cold winter mornings. So it's not about not wanting to see the problem of a broken or damaged belt, but simply about removing an annoying noise, which does not necessarily indicate an imminent breakage (indeed, there are specific anti-friction sprays for belts, like the one we can find under code B00295ELLI on Amazon at 12.28, free delivery for Prime customers). If we even just suspect that the belt is damaged, we must hurry to the mechanic.

This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
