what kind of oil for 1600dp in a van??
« on: August 15, 2008, 11:02:40 PM »
just wondering what type of oil you folks would use in the above situation, im not sure if the extra weight of the van would make the engine work any harder and therefore run a bit hotter , and if so would it make much of a difference??
