Upon checking for the fill cap, I found that the fill cap is missing.
I believe the extension was only to 80K on this year model unless its

this, I do not want more headaches down the road. This van was just
fine until the service department made a HUGE mistake. It really galls
me to have them ruin my van because of their negligence.
