Amsoil. Change once per year and change filter at 6 months and fill what's needed for filter replacement. Been doing this since 1989. Oldest is a 90 caravan. Bought used in 92. Had 56,000 when I bought it. One oil change per year since and now has 232,554 last time I looked. It's driven daily now. My wife uses it for her ride to work. Have two pickups 98/99. Both bought new. Both have over 120,000 and get the same treatment.

Also use it in both diesel tractors.

That van has had several change done at 16,000+ miles.

Got a good friend in Kentucky that has a Dodge truck with a Gertag transmission that was eating shifter forks. He was replacing them about every 18 months or so. I think it's a 91 model. I called the Amsoil Tech and asked what to use in it. It had 10w-30 engine oil in it. I figured Amsoil would have some type of gear oil for that application. The tech told me to use 10W-30 in it. I shipped him some and it's been going over 4 years now and no more shifter forks have gone bad. He's been happy with it too. Solved a big problem for that transmission. He sells horse hay and is on the road selling about 30,000 bales per year. He was about ready to sell that old truck because of the shifter problem.
