Additional Notes

  • The Dodge (Grand) Caravan NS 2.4 automatic transaxle carries two documented overhaul capacities across its configurations: 8 liters and 8.6 liters, reflecting different transaxle variants within the same engine and model year range of 1995-2000.
  • A service fill capacity of 3.8 liters applies to the 2.4 automatic transaxle, representing the fluid volume needed for a routine drain-and-fill rather than a full overhaul where the entire unit is disassembled.
  • Under normal use conditions, the automatic transaxle service interval for the 2.4 is set at 30,000 miles or 24 months, whichever comes first, meaning both a mileage and a time threshold govern the change schedule.
  • Under severe use conditions, the 2.4 automatic transaxle interval is reduced to 15,000 miles with no accompanying time-based threshold, cutting the mileage interval in half compared to normal use.
  • The 3.3 V6 automatic transaxle shares the same 3.8-liter service fill capacity and the 30,000-mile/24-month normal-use interval as the 2.4 configurations for the 1995-2000 model years.
  • The 3.8 V6 automatic transaxle also carries a 3.8-liter service fill capacity, with a normal-use interval of 30,000 miles or 24 months and a severe-use interval of 15,000 miles, mirroring the interval structure seen on the 2.4.
  • No overhaul capacity figure appears in the specifications for either the 3.3 V6 or the 3.8 V6 automatic transaxle, whereas the 2.4 configurations list overhaul capacities of 8 liters and 8.6 liters respectively.
