Hi everyone, 

I am sure this topic has been discussed but it�s time to change some of the
fluids and I want to use the best for the longevity of engine life for the
van. 

What is best and what are the options? How often should these type of fluids
be changed?

 My 89 Carat Auto just hit 150,000 miles, I just put about 1500 miles on it
and considered changing some of the fluids.

*(Note: I see dried oil caked up around the gasket heads, so she�s
definitely leaking slowly even though the compression is still good I do
have reservations about changing the engine oil as I don�t want to aggravate
the slow gasket leak into a full blown dripping leak. Just an FYI. If just
replacing the head gaskets will rectify the leak than replacement is
imminent.)

Frank Condelli sells the following items, so I assume what he sells are his
top choices, what are yours and why?:
