Hello,

Ok, your van ran hot and shut down... Well there are a couple reason this could happen......

Bad Thermostat

Bad Water Pump

Bad Radiator

Bad Fan Clutch

However, you missing an oil changed did NOT cause this problem Unless you ran out of Oil. If you ran out of oil you would have heared tapping then knocking noises coming from the engine.
