The 2012 Dodge Caravan comes with a 3.6-liter 6-cylinder engine that requires 5.9 US quarts of 5W-30 oil along with a filter. It is recommended to change the oil and filter every 7,500-10,000 miles or 12 months if using fully synthetic oil, and every 3,000-5,000 miles or 6 months if using conventional oil. Opting for synthetic oil offers benefits such as improved lubrication for engine parts, longer time between service appointments, and better performance in harsh weather conditions. Synthetic oil with a lower viscosity flows more smoothly during cold weather, effectively coating engine components to prevent friction and corrosion. The cost for an oil change and filter replacement typically ranges from $110 to $120, covering both materials and labor.
The 3.6-liter engine in the 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan can hold up to 6 quarts of oil.
