Dodge Ram Van (EU)

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Dodge Ram Van (EU) automatic transmission fluid capacity ranges from 3,8 to 8,6 liters. Service intervals include checks at 12000 km/ 12 months or 12000 km/ 6 months, and changes at 24000 km, 48000 km/ 48 months, 77000 km, or 96000 km. The data covers 10 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The Dodge Ram Van 2.4i (1996-2000) and 2.5i (1989-1996) share an identical transaxle automatic fluid capacity of 3.8 liters, as does the 3.0i (1990-1996) and the 3.3i V6 AWD (2003-2008), placing all four engine variants within the same fill volume range for service purposes.
  • The 2.4i 16V (2001-2004) and the 3.3i V6 (2001-2003) both carry a significantly larger transaxle capacity of 8.6 liters, more than double the 3.8-liter figure seen in earlier and AWD variants, which reflects a different transaxle unit requiring a substantially greater fluid volume.
  • For the Ram Van 2.4i (1996-2000) under normal use conditions, a fluid check is specified at 12,000 km or 12 months, with a full change interval set at 48,000 km or 48 months, giving both a distance and a time-based threshold for each service action.
  • Under severe use conditions, the 2.4i (1996-2000) and 2.5i (1989-1996) share a change interval of 24,000 km, exactly half the normal-use change interval specified for the 2.4i, illustrating how demanding operating conditions reduce the acceptable service period.
  • The 3.3i V6 AWD (2003-2008) under severe use conditions carries a change interval of 96,000 km, the longest severe-use change interval across all listed variants, and notably four times the severe-use interval of the earlier 2.4i and 2.5i engines.
  • The 2.4i 16V (2001-2004) under severe use conditions specifies a change interval of 77,000 km with no accompanying time-based threshold, while the normal-use entry for the same variant lists only a check interval of 12,000 km or 6 months without a stated change interval.
  • The 3.3i V6 (2001-2003) and the 2.4i 16V (2001-2004) both specify a normal-use check interval of 12,000 km or 6 months, pairing a distance threshold with a 6-month time limit rather than the 12-month time limit seen in the earlier 2.4i (1996-2000) specification.
  • The 3.0i (1990-1996) under normal use conditions lists only a capacity of 3.8 liters with no check or change interval specified, and no severe-use row is present for that variant, making the capacity figure the sole data point available for that engine configuration.
