I don't have quite 4K on my Syn oil from last change and changed that today
as I'm taking a long, hot trip (Arizona/mountain climbs) and would rather
have the new oil for protection despite the $30.00 or so expense. As has
been said, it's just good insurance. As a matter of fact, doing it led to
noticing some wires that were rubbing on the engine bay moulding so I
retaped them and zip-tied them up out of harms way. My point being that the
one thing led to another, preventive measure. These are old vehicles and
deserve all the tlc they can get...it comes back.

Okay, other than around the block warm ups, my van has been sitting for two
