In the 2008 Chevrolet Express Van, the recommended oil types and capacities are 5w30 for gas engines and 15w40 for diesel engines, with oil quantities ranging from 6 to 10 quarts depending on the specific engine size. Various engine issues may arise, such as loose gaskets and spark plug dislodgement, which can lead to problems. It is crucial to address any overheating problems promptly to avoid the risk of car fires or explosions. Regular maintenance includes replacing the air filter every 15,000 to 30,000 miles, changing the coolant every 60,000 miles, and swapping out spark plugs every 100,000 miles for most types, or every 30,000 miles for copper spark plugs.
