Dodge (Grand) Caravan, RS (USA / CAN)

Differential fluid capacity & service interval

Dodge (Grand) Caravan, RS (USA / CAN) uses differential fluid with a capacity of 0,7 liter. The service interval is 21000 miles. The data covers 2 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • Both the 3.3 V6 and 3.8 V6 AWD configurations share an identical rear differential fluid capacity of 0.7 liter, which is a relatively small fill volume consistent with a compact rear differential unit rather than a larger axle assembly.
  • The 0.7 liter figure represents a service fill capacity, meaning the amount of fluid used during a standard drain-and-refill procedure on the rear differential.
  • The Dodge (Grand) Caravan and RS rear differential fluid change interval is set at 21,000 miles, and in both engine configurations, the specifications apply exclusively under severe use conditions.
  • Severe use conditions tied to the 21,000-mile change interval reflect operating environments that place greater stress on differential fluid, such as frequent towing, off-road driving, or repeated stop-and-go cycles, which accelerate fluid degradation compared to normal use.
  • The 3.3 V6 and 3.8 V6 AWD variants covering model years 2000-2004 carry identical rear differential specifications across both capacity and change interval, indicating no differentiation in rear differential servicing requirements between the two engine displacements.
