[101Volts]

Looks like I'll use this car more now that the Caravan's likely being junked this year; it's so rusty we're not inspecting it again and it's not likely to be driven beyond local areas.

Since my last post, this has happened to the Caprice:

New Coolant Pump;
New Belts (Except A/C Belt which was removed, compressor's frozen);
Replaced P.S. Fluid;
Shell T6 5w40 Diesel oil, Using T6 0w40 next as I got 2 gallons for $10;
Amsoil EaO59 Oil Filter;
ATF, Filter & Gasket change + adding Lucas thickener when it leaks (it's not leaking out of the pan gasket)
Wheel Alignment.

Ideas for what I'll do next are:

80w90 Gear Oil change, then to Amsoil 75w90 to compare;
0w30 Synthetic or Biosynthetic Motor Oil (Haven't seen any leaks with the Diesel oil);
New Shocks (When were they last changed anyway?);
Another wheel alignment, if necessary.

At least I'll know I have a clean engine after using this Diesel oil and Amsoil filter, previous oils be far removed!

Thinking about this car does make me think a bit about life; how using the Caravan for the last near 46k miles and 4 years just hasn't given me much driving time in this car which we still haven't driven even 1,500 miles per year since we got it. (Mileage is under 114k, we got it somewhere between 107.5-109k in June 2010.) My attention hasn't been set on this vehicle much in that time! Still, all for the better perhaps. Now I know what oils to use a bit more.
