I might be buying a safari (from a dealer) that has 120,000 miles on it. Is there some way to tell if the oil in the engine is already full synthetic? When I change the oil, I don't want to go full synthetic if it's dino in there now.

Thanks in advance.

Doh! Thanks.

and by two words, I mean I want to look for both, one after the other...such as "emergency kit". On other forums I can put the words within double quotes, and it will search for that exact 2 word occurrence, but that doesn't seem to work on here. Suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Hello all! I've been reading the different areas on here for a couple weeks. I don't have my Astro yet, but I've been researching and looking for a few months now. I had been flipping between RD and AWD, but now think AWD is the way to go for my needs, even though the last 4 I've taken to my mechani...
