Quaker State is probably one of the worst oils that you can use in any vehicles because it is made from Pennsylvania oil stock which contains parafin (wax) and can cause sludging inside the motor. Also if you are going to sit your camper van outside I would recommend covering it up with one of my high quality Westfalia Vanagon covers. It would keep the sun from damaging the vehicle while protecting it from snow and ice as well. I sell these for $200, they come with a lifetime warranty and I can send them via the US postal service so shipping is pretty cheap to Canada ($12). Draining the oil after the winter is a must since acids will form in the motor from combustion by-products and condensation water combining. Have a great winter!
