Sounds likr someone put too much oil in their pt6.... You really should not fill it past the minimum line since it will just burn it. The min line is only like 2 or 3 quarts(correct me if im wrong its been a few years). But also a catastrphic engine failure in a van?? Thats just not rare, that windscreen is so large i dont think i could vomit and cover it. Also at 35mph thats gotta be one big branch to not only go through that big windscreen but to breakbone... After going thrpugh that big fan and pt6.
