I always put 5W-30 in. Depending upon where you live this can make a huge difference. If you live in colder climates, definitely 5W-30. It is thinner when its cold and makes it easier to pump the oil up to the top of the engine. Another little piece of information that is useful: 5W is the weight of the oil when its cold, or the viscosity of it. The lower the number the thinner the oil. 30 is the hot temperature weight of the oil. The higher the number the thicker it becomes. In short, its thin so it flows easier when its cold, then when the engine is hot, it has the protection of the thicker oil.

5 QT. 5W-30
It would have to do with the transmission or maybe there isn't enough oil in the car?
the oil filter is underneath the front of the van, slide under from the front behind the radiator and the fan motor and look up. It is kind of tucked up in between things....
