        Hello
        Imho its better to make a oilchange before storing the van and let
the engine untouched until you want to reanimate it. If it will be standing
for a longer period, you should fill it up completely with oil including the
combustion chambers. If you let the engine run only for a short period,
water is condensing in the engine and the agressive parts of the fuel are
getting in the oil.


        greetings michael, no flames if i used wrong terms please.
