The Chevy Astro Van is a good family van. It is great for towing anything from pop trailers to the family
boat. The ride and comfort are excellent; you can easily get 18mpg city; 22mpg hwy and 18-20 towing. But the bottom line is that if you want a minivan that has no trouble pulling a trailer 2500 lbs or more, then the Astro/Safari is your only choice.
Now to keep the engine in the Chevy Astro Van running it best you need to use the best lubricants on the market.
Why use AMSOIL oil?

How AMSOIL can save you money. Know that facts.
AMSOIL extended drain intervals mean fewer oil changes,
long term savings and convenience
Fuel Prices are Sky High- AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oil Saves You Money- An average
of $417-$497 Saved Per Year
With fuel prices hovering around $4.00 per gallon nationwide consumers are
searching for methods to save money without a major investment in a smaller
more fuel efficient vehicle. The major oil companies are pulling in huge
profits, yet I have not seen them aggressively promoting synthetic oil and
the major fuel economy savings that it can provide. AMSOIL has 35 years
experience of producing the world’s finest PAO based synthetic motor oil
and has countless testimonials and documented tests that show fuel savings
of 3-5% up to 8-10%, or more in some cases.

Some people say AMSOIL is expensive. I say it’s FREE
Here’s why: Say you pay $34.95 to get your oil changed every 3000 miles.
That’s 8 oil changes to travel 24,000 miles at a cost of $279.60, not
including your time, for 8 trips to the quick lube. If you change it
yourself at a cost of $25.00 per change for the oil/filter then your total
cost is $200.00. These are typical average costs people pay for quick lube
and do it yourself oil changes nationwide.
Now, do it yourself using AMSOIL’s 5W-30 or 10W-30 25,000 mile/1-year oil
at a retail cost of $7.70 per quart times 8 quarts (enough oil for the
initial change, and enough to add as it is used during the course of the
25,000 miles) plus one AMSOIL Absolute Efficiency 25,000 mile/1-year oil
filter at a cost of $15.00. Your total cost is $61.60 plus $15.00 = $76.60.
AMSOIL saves you $203.00 over the quick lube cost and $123.40 over the do-
it-yourself cost on the oil and filter change alone. Additionally, if you
drive 25,000 miles per year and get an average of 17 MPG you would use 1470
gallons of fuel per year. With an average conservative estimate of 5% fuel
economy improvement with AMSOIL you would now only use 1396.50 gallons of
fuel per year, which saves you 73.50 gallons of fuel per year times $4.00
per gallon = $294.00 fuel savings.
With AMSOIL, your total savings now increase to $497.00 over the quick lube
cost and $417.40 over the do-it-yourself cost. Therefore AMSOIL pays for
itself and saves you time as well as reduces engine wear and increases the
longevity of your engine and powertrain. If you change your transmission
and differentials to AMSOIL your savings can increase even more.
This is real money that you can use to help you defray the high cost of
fuel and vehicle maintenance. At $4.00 per gallon saving almost $500.00 per
year (per vehicle) is like getting 125 gallons of free fuel per year for
each of your personal, family or company vehicles. As the cost of fuel
increases beyond $4.00 per gallon, which it will eventually, your savings
with AMSOIL will increase even more.
Even if you don’t drive 25,000 miles in a year and do less than 8 oil
changes per year, you are still saving money. If you become Preferred
Customer or Dealer you save even more money by purchasing AMSOIL at
wholesale prices (prices used in these calculations are retail prices).
This generally will save you an additional approximately 25% or more off
the cost of the oil and filters.
Here are some examples of the products recommended for the Chevy Astro Van
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL 100% Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil (ASL)
delivers extraordinary lubrication in all types of automotive gasoline engines. By combining the industry premier synthetic technology with AMSOIL premium additives, AMSOIL ASL exceeds the higher performance demands of modern engines. It withstands the stress of higher horsepower, higher heat and complicated emission control systems. AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil consistently outperforms competitive conventional and synthetic motor oils. It delivers long-lasting performance and protection.
AMSOIL, the leader in automotive synthetic lubrication, produced the world’s first API qualified synthetic motor oil in 1972. Trust the extensive experience of AMSOIL The First in Synthetics® to do the best job protecting your engine.
Extends Drain Intervals
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil can extend drain intervals far beyond those recommended for conventional oils. Its unique synthetic formulation and long drain additive system are very stable, resisting oxidation and neutralizing acids. AMSOIL ASL delivers the best possible engine protection, cleanliness and performance over extended drain intervals, reducing vehicle maintenance and waste oil disposal costs.
Maximizes Fuel Economy
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil is designed to maximize energy efficiency for improved fuel economy. Unlike conventional oils, its uniform molecular structure helps it flow more freely and reduce friction between metal surfaces. Anti-friction additives are included to further improve energy efficiency.
Reduces Engine Wear
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-30 Motor Oil provides outstanding anti-wear protection. It has excellent viscosity film strength to separate metal surfaces and robust anti-wear additives to further reduce wear in metal-to-metal contact regions for improved engine life.
AMSOIL Ea Air Filters
represent a major breakthrough in filtration technology. The revolutionary nanofiber technology used in AMSOIL Ea Filters captures more dirt, holds more dirt and allows better air flow than conventional air filters. AMSOIL Ea Filters improve engine performance and help engines last longer.
Absolute Efficiency
AMSOIL Ea Air Filters are the most efficient filters available to the car/light truck market. Ea Air Filters’ synthetic nanofiber media removes 5 times more dust than traditional cellulose filter media alone and 50 times more dust than wet gauze filter media. AMSOIL Ea Air Filters have a service life of 100,000 miles or four years, whichever comes first.
Better Air Flow
AMSOIL Ea Air Filters allow more airflow than filters that use cellulose media alone. Cellulose fibers are larger than nanofibers, and have larger spaces between the fibers, causing contaminants to load in the depth of the media and plug the airflow path, which results in higher restriction and less capacity. The synthetic nanofibers in EaA Filter media have submicron diameters and small interfiber spaces, which result in more contaminants being captured on the surface of the media and lower restriction.
More Capacity
AMSOIL Ea Air Filters hold up to two and a half times more contaminants than cellulose air filters. Since the nanofibers in the media are so small there are more pores per square inch, allowing for higher dirt-holding capacity and lower pressure drop when compared to cellulose filter media alone. Thinner media fibers produce more uniform pore size distribution, improving the filter’s overall quality and ability to capture and retain particles. Testing shows that Ea Air Filters hold 15 times more contaminants than a wet gauze type filter.
Cleanable – Longer Life
When cleaned according to AMSOIL specifications and used in normal service, AMSOIL Ea Air Filters are guaranteed for 100,000 miles or four years, whichever comes first. EaA Filters remain effective for 25,000 miles or one year before requiring cleaning. This coincides with the AMSOIL 25,000-mile/one-year motor oil drain interval, adding even more convenience for motorists by consolidating routine maintenance. (See below for cleaning instructions.)
Applications
AMSOIL Ea Air Filters provide superior air filtration for vehicles in the auto/light truck market.
Cleaning
EaA filters should be cleaned every year or 25,000 miles, whichever comes first. Carefully remove the filter from the housing. Clean the housing with a shop towel, being careful not to knock contaminants into the air inlet. Filters can be cleaned by carefully vacuuming the filter media on the dirty side, or by holding the filter with one hand and carefully blowing the filter media at a 45 degree angle on the clean side using low-pressure shop air (15-20 lbs. psi).
Service Life
AMSOIL Ea Air Filters are guaranteed for four years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. The guarantee applies only if the filter has been serviced according to AMSOIL recommendations. In off-road, frequently dusty or other severe duty applications, clean and change more often as determined by operating conditions or as indicated by restriction gauge.
