Traveling down the freeway my oil light comes on... with that annoying buzzzzzzzzz... I pull over add 2 quarts... oil light still does not go away... I drive hoping it will get some oil in there.. well needless to say all of the sudden there is this aweful grinding noise... I pull over and the van dies! ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! Well I try to start it up again and the starter tries its best to turn the engine but thats all I get... the engine wont turn at all.... I drained the oil.. (I found out I had quite a bit!) It was much thicker than usual especially since I changed it less than 3000 miles ago. Soooooooo anyone have any suggestions on what I should try to get this engine going? Or is a transplant in order? (I dont know if this says anything but I checked the trans fluid and it was a bit darker than normal but not dark like engine oil) Thanks a bunch in advance! Ciao! David.... '91 Vana-Goner *doing the unstuck* 207K miles
