Another question:  are there any "quirks" about changing the oil in a
vanagon?  My oil is about halfway between the full and add oil mark on the
dipstick.  I'd like to change the oil and filter instead of adding more.
The automotive technology class at my high school does oil changes, so if
it's simple and routine, I'll let them do it.  Of course I'd remove the rear
cushions and tarp everything in sight!  I've had work done in high school
classes.  The work is usually good, but there are often a few oil smudges
where they don't belong.
