182000 mi US $98	Th EX-L model has the CM system - Variable Cylinder management. So it cuts off the rear bank of cylinders when the ECO light comes on. Over time, this seems to either freeze up the oil rings on the piston, or cause excessive wear on cylinder walls -- both cause oil consumption. Solution is to install a VCM disabling item -- see ebay -- and then to try and unfreeze the rings by letting soak in seafoam, or similar. Moderate success.

Evaporative emissions system problem. Will live with this until SMOG test is required. I have OBD code reader so I can check to make sure this is the only reason the light is coming on.

Check engine light had been on for a long time. Engine needed serious cleaning, new spark plugs, other related part adjustments. Won't list all here. Only did because van running sluggishly and know the repairs guys. Over many years they have been honest with diagnoses and ok with things that didn't have to be done. Can't afford a newer old van, and everything else checked out ok on this. So hope this thorough cleaning and auxillary parts replacement will keep in running for years more.
