Hello all, irecently ordered a belt from rock auto for a 2012 rav 4/4 cylinder. I ordered the continental and it came in a package that said domestic mileage maker, a couple weeks ago my corolla needed a belt change as well but spent more at a local parts chain. The package is different but was advertised as being the same one I got before, is there something is should be aware of with these domestic mileage maker belts ? Thank you.
Belts: continental's domestic mileage maker

Mileage Maker was a brand of belts made Veyance Technologies who also made Goodyear brand belts. Continental bought Goodyear's belt making business (Veyance) in 2014 so the Mileage Maker belt you got was probably an NOS belt.

It says domestic on the package but it's for a rav 4...?
Belts are made to fit specs - # of grooves, width, length. Then go on multiple applications. That the package says "domestic" doesn't mean much. It's possible a belt that fits on a Jaguar also fits on a Honda.
When you take the old belt off, you can line them up and compare size to double check. But I wouldn't think twice about the packaging.
