Hi, Guys, i just bought a used 1996 Dodge caravan 3.0L engine. Right after getting it i did a engine oil flush using Kleen Flo's "valve clean" product and then changed the oil with "Q Advance" fully synthetic oil from quacker state. I also used a Kralinator filter which is made by wix. Now, the lower radiator hose somehow came loose (i'm thinking it wasn't put on properly by someone who last worked on the van) while i was driving and the van overheated I immediately shut it off and waited another 20 minutes before starting it so that i could make it to my house which was very close. The van was running very rough and i barely made to my place. Next morning i checked what was wrong and it seemed like the clamp had slipped off the lower radiator hose that attaches to the radiator, thus, draining out all the fluid. So, I put the clamp in place and it seems nice and tight now and shouldn't come off like that, i gave a few good yanks after putting it on and it seems good. It's only been around a 1000 kilometers since i changed the oil, now i'm wondering if i should do another oil change because of the overheating, the oil does still look good though. Also, in the morning the van had completely cooled down and runs just fine as before. Now, should i change the oil immediately or should i wait? The oil does still look good nice and clean.
