By the way this o-ring is tricky to change (assuming your van is like
my 2.1 was). You need to remove the coolant lines to get the oil
cooler off, I used needle nose vice grips with hose on the metal jaws
to pinch the coolant lines so the coolant did not drain out, then
removed the oile cooler to get at the o-ring.
