how about some techniques on how to hold the license plate down and
check the oil and hold the rag at the same time?


That's easy!  Open the license plate door, take off the oil filler cap and
place it "sunny side up" between the inside edge of the open door and the van
body.  Let the door come up a bit.  The tension of the spring holds the cap
in place and the door open.
