Those Vanagon engine failures are far more common from cooling system
failures than anything else. Spending money on oil gauges won't change
that. If you really want to keep a Vanagon engine alive longer spend
your time and money on the much greater threat, the cooling system. If
you just like more dials and lights, go for it.
