Additional Notes

  • The Dodge (Grand) Caravan and RT with the 3.3 V6 engine (2007-2010) carries a transaxle overhaul capacity of 9.2 liters, which represents the total fluid volume required when the unit is fully disassembled and refilled from empty. Routine service work on the same transaxle requires only 3.8 liters, reflecting the fluid that remains in the torque converter and passages during a standard drain-and-fill procedure.
  • With the introduction of the 3.6 V6 engine in 2011, the transmission capacity figures changed noticeably. The dry fill rating rose to 8.5 liters while the service fill increased to 5.2 liters, a notably higher service fill than the 3.8 liters specified for the earlier 3.3 V6 transaxle. The dry fill designation on the 3.6 V6 transmission corresponds to a complete fill of a fully drained or new unit, functionally equivalent to the overhaul capacity label used on the 3.3 V6 specifications.
  • For the 3.3 V6 configurations covering 2007-2010, the normal-use change interval is set at 120,000 miles or 120 months. Under severe use conditions, that interval is halved to 60,000 miles or 60 months, reflecting the accelerated fluid degradation associated with more demanding operating conditions.
  • The 3.6 V6 configurations from 2011 onward carry a normal-use change interval of 120,000 miles, matching the mileage figure of the earlier 3.3 V6. However, the time-based limit extends to 144 months for the 3.6 V6 under normal use, compared to 120 months for the 3.3 V6, a difference of two years.
  • Under severe use conditions, the 3.6 V6 transmission interval is specified at 60,000 miles or 72 months. The time component of 72 months is longer than the 60-month severe-use limit assigned to the 3.3 V6 transaxle, even though the mileage trigger remains the same at 60,000 miles across both engine families.
  • The 3.6 V6 FlexFuel and standard 3.6 V6 variants share identical transmission capacity and interval specifications across both the 2011-2015 and 2015-2021 model year ranges. The same pattern holds for the 3.3 V6 and 3.3 V6 Flex Fuel variants in the 2007-2010 range, where capacities and intervals are identical regardless of fuel system type.
  • The 3.6 V6 specifications are divided into two overlapping model year groupings: 2011-2015 and 2015-2021. Both groupings carry the same capacity and interval values, meaning the 2015 model year appears in both sets with no difference in specified figures between them.
