NO! never! lubrication of any tensioner belts will eventuall cause corrosion/deteriation of the material then snap. No liquid of any kind should be placed on the belt. Of course water may happen to get on it from time to time pending on what you are doing but that's not bad.
I have put the new automatic tentioner on but, I can't seem to get the belt tight and keep the tentioner in its proper grooves.
No The tentioner should have bolt in center move tentioner to apply belt
The lower part of the drive belt runs around the tentioner. It's where the adjustment is made to tighten or loosen the belt.
there should be an automatic tentioner on the serp. if not look at the alt it will have slotted holes to loosen up
There is a diagram on the hood, to remove the belt look to the left behind the strut tower. There is a tentioner there and you release the tention by moving it with a wrench or socket.

Will let you know in 19984
How do you tighten the serpentine belt on an oldsmobile ciera
Never use belt dressing on a serpentine belt. Clean the dressing off and recheck the pulleys.
you dont they are self adjusting with the tentioner pully...
My 1995 Ford Explorer has a diagram in the front of the engine compartment showing how the serpentine belt is routed . Does your Ford Aerostar not have that .
The belt tensioner for a 94 Cavalier is mounted on the front of the engine. The tensioner is spring loaded on an arm to keep the belt tight.
