I'm just waiting to see how long it keeps working. We're not using the van now, but I have been starting it each day and checking since I posted. Still working well. So, at this point - I'm going to assume that maybe the problem was with the oil not being disperesed evenly throughout the system?

No surging, cools fast, etc.
