Additional Notes

  • The Ram Cargo Van 3.3 uses a transaxle-type automatic, while the 3.6 uses a conventional automatic transmission, reflecting a fundamental difference in drivetrain layout between the two engine configurations.
  • On the Cargo Van 3.3, the overhaul capacity of 9.2 liters represents the total fluid volume required when the transaxle is fully disassembled and refilled from dry, whereas the 3.8-liter service fill applies to a routine drain-and-refill where residual fluid remains in the torque converter and passages.
  • The Cargo Van 3.6 carries a dry fill capacity of 8.5 liters, which similarly reflects a complete fill from empty, compared to a 5.2-liter service fill for standard maintenance intervals.
  • For the Cargo Van 3.3 under normal use conditions, the automatic transaxle fluid change interval is set at 200,000 km or 120 months, which equals a 10-year or roughly 124,000-mile service life between changes.
  • Under severe use conditions, the Cargo Van 3.3 transaxle fluid interval is halved to 100,000 km or 60 months, directly reflecting the increased thermal and mechanical stress associated with severe operating conditions.
  • The Cargo Van 3.6 under normal use conditions carries an interval of 120,000 miles or 144 months, the latter equaling 12 years, making the mileage threshold the more likely limiting factor in typical driving scenarios.
  • Under severe use, the Cargo Van 3.6 transmission fluid interval drops to 60,000 miles or 72 months, cutting both the mileage and time limits exactly in half compared to the normal use specification.
  • The Ram Cargo Van 3.3 FlexFuel variant shares identical automatic transaxle fluid capacities and change intervals with the standard 3.3, with 9.2 liters overhaul, 3.8 liters service fill, 200,000 km or 120 months for normal use, and 100,000 km or 60 months for severe use.
