Default Hey guys I need a little help

I went out to start my car this morning and it made a squealing noise for like 2 seconds than stopped and was running fine. I'm pretty sure it's a belt but I just wanted to run it by you guys real quick. It was like 30 degrees this morning as well.

Do not use any belt dressing on a serpentine belt. Belt dressing is for V belts only.

it's a common problem for any car once the weather turns cold. They just need to be tightened a bit and the squeel will go away.

It is common at times for belt squeal when the weather gets cold.
However,I'd also look at the condition of your belts.Whats your mileage?
Belts usually start acting up over 50-60k miles.
DO NOT USE ANY BELT CONDITIONER ON YOUR BELTS.
IT IS NOT FOR SERPENTINE BELTS.
