can't really go wrong with the shopvac method. Tape it in to the tailpipe and let her blow. Has never failed me.

Co op western canada makes their own fuels. Still probably smaller market cap than amsoil. Heres a pdf of motor oil https://www.fuel.crs/wcm/connect/www.fuel.crs1162/ab935b5a-499f-4a51-a241-89d471e9ce4f/SONIC%2BSynthetic.pdf?MOD=AJPERES&CVID=lPGi1pB They blend every oil under the sun. Bar oil...

Thanks for all the opinions. No block heater plugins in the lot. Ill just park as is. There’s quite a few other employee cars so I’m sure they will know what works. Someone mentioned paint damage being their concern. You wouldn’t be too worried about that on my van. Ha. It runs great though...

Gets costly. I do 3 drain and fills then just swap 2 litres once a year

Im starting a new job. 20 days on, 10 off. Ill be leaving my minivan in an outside secured lot 20 days at a time. My concern is mostly the fuel. I don't want to store it with a full tank because I'll never burn a full tank in the 10 days off. So would a 1/4 tank be fine? This is in Edmonton...

I'm a fan of this stuff too. I carry a 1l as top up and will buy once it hits $20 a jug. My van always runs great on it. Doesn't seem to go on sale often anymore though so I usually wind up with SuperTech instead.

I put monroe quick struts on 2 years ago. Left front made a popping sound from day 1. Turned out to be the dust boot when compressed. otherwise they’ve been good. 60 000km so far.

well that cv shaft will come out by just pulling the 2 bolts through the strut and the axle nut itself. No alignment needed as long as it's still the factory strut. Easy enough to do in 30-45mins in the driveway. New one is cheap enough. Beware; about half the time you ill lose 1/2 litre of...

I will bet money it is a sticking rear caliper. Get the symptoms to surface then quickly pull over and smell behind the tires. Edit. The burning smell is likely the pads not the tires. It only happens uphill because gravity pushes brake fluid back. This happened to me. It took me a year to...

Well every time I hit the pump at 1.96/l it fills my heart with great sadness.

My money is on a belt accessory. Dying bearings or pulley somewhere.

The 3.3 with 4 speed is quite reliable. They like frequent oil changes is all. I have 240k kms on mine and it runs and shifts great. I def. recommend drain and fill with filter for tranny before 100k kms. Then siphon 2-3 litres once a year. It makes a big difference in shift quality for me...

Perhaps an engineer could chime in but it may also be that aluminum arms could be designed to fail in an impact before damage to the frame occurs?

https://www.autozone.com/drivetrain/automatic-transmission-dipstick/chrysler/town-country These make it easier. Take off the service cover on dipstick hole, siphon out and refill. I would recommend a pan drop on these vans to replace filter however.

I usually can't store oil so I buy one jug at a time. SuperTech syn(though it's getting hard to find) quite often unless Motomaster syn 5w20 is on sale. The new Motomaster syn oil with the Shell branding here in Canada is good stuff. For $20 a jug on sale I prefer that to the $17 ST.

I consider extended at 7501km.

Woolrich wool socks are better than Kirkland wool socks.

If new belts don't solve it I'd be looking at the starter.
