Just wanted to ask a quick ? re: my van. It really hasn't moved in the last 3 weeks due to mods on the aux battery, Peel n Seal, and new sound system. Started it up today and hearing alot (ALOT) of clackety clacking from the engine. Sounds like low on oil. Didn't do this prior to parking it for the repairs. I am on a slant in the driveway so hard to get a reading on oil level. I took it for a 3-4 mile drive and still got the noise. I will check it out tomorrow on level ground but couldn't resist posting to ask how long it should take to get the oil circulated. When I took the oil cap off and listen, I can hear gurgling....maybe I'm low? Like I said, will check in AM on level ground, but really want to take it out for a drive as I have been in the Beetle for the last couple of weeks. Thanks guys and gals.
