The 2001 Dodge Caravan's 3.3-liter 6-cylinder engine requires 5 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 when using fully synthetic lubricants, or every 3,000-5,000 miles or 6 months with conventional oil. Synthetic oils offer advantages over conventional ones, such as improved lubrication for moving parts, longer service intervals, and better performance in extreme weather conditions. Thinner viscosity synthetic oils flow more freely in cold weather, providing efficient engine component coverage and enhanced protection against friction and corrosion. The cost for an oil change with filter typically ranges from $126 to $136 for parts and labor.

The recommended oil for a 2001 Dodge Caravan 3.3 is Valvoline Synthetic Motor Oil 5W-30 in a five-quart container.
