2007 Grand Caravan 3.3 FlexFuel 85k
Valvo Durablend from a K-Mart closeout 1.79 each 10-30
ST3614 filter
I've used everything from 5-20 to 15-40 in this van. It just keeps on ticking, and is not picky at all. Maybe 1 tank out of 10 is gas, the rest is E85.

Is that about once a year for him? I'd love to see valve train pics if there's ever an opportunity.

We'd need more info about driving habits and conditions.

That's about a 9-10 month run. I still haven't figured out how to post pics here, but through the oil fill hole it is very clean. He told me he plans to keep this van until at least 250K,which is only another 120K, so I think the engine is good for that and beyond. Also he hasn't done a UOA, but every change we do the one drop rest and it always looks good.
