Re: What kind of van do you have?

I almost turned around on buying the cleanco47 because I wanted a newer style van. A slide in would be good in one of the newer....just tired of all the relays and work I had in the past w a slider.....love the heat though.

I've had zero problems with my 2005 3/4 ton Chevrolet. It has 88,000 and I've run synthetic oil from day one.

Just an FYI on Synthetic oils. They're great, but I've heard many times from reliable sources that they shouldn't be used in a brand new engine until it's been broken-in on dino oil first, usually a couple hundred miles. The way I understand it is you want the rings to seat-in well before going to the lower friction oils.

Just passing on what I've heard/read many times.......I'm no oil expert, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night.

Thanks, Actually I waited until the first oil change to switch.

You heard correctly, that is the bible and verse in the mechanic world.
