Uses some oil.
General comments?
Overall I have been very happy with this van. I drive it almost every day and it just keeps going. It is very easy to work on as well. The manual steering does get a little tiring at slow speeds, but going down the highway the steering effort is reduced to almost nothing. Being a cargo van it has tons of room to haul stuff, plus you can camp in it :) The 300 six has good low end although it is hardly a race engine. All in all I think it doesn't do too bad for a vehicle that is 30 years old.
