Additional Notes
- Both the 3.3 V6 AWD and 3.8 V6 AWD configurations of the Dodge (Grand) Caravan RS share an identical transfer case fluid capacity of 1.15 liters, which is a relatively modest fill volume consistent with the compact internal design of a passenger van transfer unit.
- The 15,000-mile change interval applies under severe use conditions for both engine variants, meaning the interval listed reflects a more demanding service schedule rather than a standard or relaxed maintenance cycle.
- Despite the difference in displacement between the 3.3 V6 and 3.8 V6 engines, the transfer case fluid specifications remain uniform across both configurations for the 2000-2004 model years, indicating the same transfer unit was paired with each engine in AWD applications.
- A capacity of 1.15 liters represents a service fill figure, which is the amount used during a routine fluid change rather than a full overhaul or dry-fill scenario where additional volume might be required to prime internal passages.
- The severe use designation tied to the 15,000-mile interval typically corresponds to operating conditions such as frequent towing, off-road driving, or repeated short trips, all of which accelerate fluid degradation in a transfer case.
