You're right!  It's a 90 Multivan.  I'll check this out.  The oil level is
fine and I haven't even seen a drop on the pavement after the oil change and
tune-up.  The place knows their Vanagons and they used 10/30 valvoline.  (I
live in southern California) The filter is white and has VWW listed under
brand on the invoice.  I checked under the car for leaks and couldn't catch
sight of a name on the filter, but then I didn't know that it might be
important.

Thanks everybody!
