    Best engine oil for G20 work van.

    Oh OK, didn't know you could mix the two. Was kinda just looking at some vids and talks about how Synt's can be better in cold and over all in lots of way. So if mixing isn't a issue, I'm fine with going with that. Was looking at the Pennzoil Ultra, and bad reports on that? Thanks

    Best engine oil for G20 work van.

    Kinda new around here but guessing Dyno is short for dinosaur, meaning regular oil as its a fossil based product? Also, when you say switch, can I still consider they can't (or at least is not recommend) to be mixed? If so, would that be the same for blend? Btw, to all as I haven't said it...

    Dif between GL-5 fluid of two dif GM numbers?

    Hello all Am making a separate post as kinda dif topic, but I needed to get some GL-5 75W-90 rear axle fluid for my 1995 GM G20 van with a G80 differential in it. In reading many places it looked like the GM number for their fluid that was posted in many places for this axle and with that...

    Diff of GM GL-4 and GL-5 rear Axle fluid?

    eh... What I need is to get this thing back on the road. Has worked OK for me since 1995 and for 80,000 miles. Have been trying to plan for a new truck but just really haven't been able to scrape the money together with this wonderful economy. Being as this truck is how I could even make that...

    Diff of GM GL-4 and GL-5 rear Axle fluid?

    Hey guys, thanks for all the replies. Sounds like even though they gave a number for what apparently is a GL-4 fluid. Being that it also spoke of the fluid being GL-5, and as well with all the documentation I have seen that has been made since then, that the above number for the 75W-90 GL-5...

    Hello all I have a 1995 G20 van with a little over 80,000 miles on it that is getting the axel shafts replaced that I bought new from the dealer and with the G80 option differential. As I have been the sole owner of it, I can say the rear Axel fluid has never been changed. In the factory GM...
