It is normal to go down a bit, just the charging system catching up.

The squiling is the serp belt slipping, either tighten up your current belt or get a new one or both.

Get a gatorback belt, it will cost just a bit over 20 and take 10 minutes of your time.

Never use any spray or lube, it will fix it for about a day then just go back to the way it was. Waste of money especially when a new belt can be had for $20.
