Hi there! Could you please let me know the recommended oil type and amount for a 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan?

Question

Accepted Answer

The oil capacity for the 3.6L engine in a 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan is 6 quarts, and it requires 5W-30 viscosity oil. Before starting an oil change on the vehicle, it is important to ensure that the car has been turned off and allowed to cool for a couple of hours to prevent the risk of burns. Locate the oil pan in the engine compartment and find the drain plug on the underside. Place a bucket underneath the plug and remove it to allow the oil to drain into the pan. Let it drain completely, which could take about an hour. Once the dripping stops, replace the drain plug and locate the intake port on top of the oil pan. Using a funnel, fill the oil pan with oil, making sure not to overfill. It's okay to be a little under the full mark, but overfilling can cause leaks and excess oil consumption. After filling the oil to the appropriate level, close the port, clean up any spilled oil, and you're done.
