When equipped with the 2.4-liter inline-4 engine, the 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan takeS4.7 liters (5 quarts) of 5W-30 oil. Both versions of the 3.3-liter V6 get the same quantity of fluid as the 4Cylinder engine, but 5W-20 is recommended instead. Dodge suggests changing this fluid in the Grand Caravan every 6,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. Your maintenance frequency will be based on Your driving habits though. If You notice excess exhaust or hear engine knocking, You've waited too long. It's a good idea to check the fluid regularly to make sure it isn't old or low to help prevent expensive engine damage. The average cost to change the oil in this van is $110 to $120, with labor making up about $30 to $50 of that total.
