Your car has hydraulic valves, which means they are not adjustable. If they are clattering, you may need to change the oil (If it is dirty) and run some cleaner through the motor. What I mean is, add the cleaner to the fresh oil and filter you put in the motor. 50 years ago, we used to add a quart of automatic transmission fluid to the oil to clean the motor. Automatic transmission fluid is basically colored detergent. We would then drain the oil and transmission fluid when it got dirty, like maybe 500 or 1000 miles. You do not want to put too much oil in the motor, so you would substitute the tranny fluid for the last quart of oil. Be blessed.
it will take you 4 quarts of oil with out changing the filter.. and 5 quarts when changing the filter.well really more like 4 1/2..and there is no point in changing it if you arent going to do the filter
API SG or SG/CD look on the Cap or Label of the Oil Container (Quart, Gallon, or 5 Quarts).

Always change Oil Filter with the Oil Change.

The van must be on level ground while checking. after adding the correct amount of oil making sure to prime the oil filter before installing run the van for approx 30 seconds turn off and recheck after 1 min.
