By the way this o-ring is tricky to change (assuming your van is like my 2.1 was). You need to remove the coolant lines to get the oil cooler off, I used needle nose vice grips with hose on the metal jaws to pinch the coolant lines so the coolant did not drain out, then removed the oile cooler to get at the o-ring.
