The Importance of Engine Oil Maintenance
Engine oil is the lifeblood of your van's engine, reducing friction and heat while keeping everything running smoothly. Driving with dirty or old oil can cause:
Decreased performance
Increased fuel consumption
- Premature engine wear and tear
🔧 When to Change Your Oil?
Most manufacturers recommend changing the engine oil every 10,000 to 15,000 miles, depending on your driving conditions. However, if you're frequently driving in stop-and-go traffic, towing heavy loads, or off-roading, it’s better to stick to the 5,000 to 7,500-mile range.
Why Engine Air Filters Matter
The engine air filter prevents dirt, debris, and contaminants from entering your engine. A clogged or dirty filter not only reduces airflow but can also harm your engine and lower fuel efficiency.
📷 Example from a Van with Only 5K Miles
The air filter pictured above shows significant dirt and debris accumulation after just 5,000 miles. This highlights how environmental factors, like dusty roads, can accelerate the need for replacement.

🔄 When to Replace the Air Filter?
Recommended: Every 15,000 to 30,000 miles or once a year.
Under harsh conditions: Inspect and replace it more frequently.
