The 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan comes with two engine options: a 4.0L and a 3.3L. The 4.0L engine has a recommended oil capacity of 5.9 quarts (or 5.2 liters), while the 3.3L engine requires 5 quarts. For the 4.0L engine, it is best to use SAE 5w-30 full synthetic oil, while the 5w-20 oil is suitable for the 3.3L engine. To ensure optimal engine performance, it is advisable to change the oil and filter every 3000 - 5000 miles. Failing to do so can lead to a decrease in oil viscosity, resulting in inadequate lubrication of crucial engine components like the pistons and cylinders. Oil prices can vary depending on whether you choose traditional or synthetic oil, ranging from $5 - $10 per quart. If you decide to change the oil yourself, make sure to also replace the oil filter. Keeping track of your oil changes is important, which is why the van is equipped with an oil light indicator to remind you when it's time for a change.
The 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan is equipped with a 3.6L V6 engine that requires full synthetic oil of SAE 0W-20. This minivan has an oil capacity of 5.9 quarts when the filter is changed.
The recommended oil for a 3.6 liter engine is SAE 5W-20, and you'll need about 6 quarts to fill it up.
