Dodge recommends having your 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Grand Caravan in the above table. No matter the mileage, your Grand Caravan may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Dodge recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Dodge Grand Caravan. In fact, more frequent oil changes give our technicians more opportunities to catch and alert you to any issues, like worn brake pads or a weak battery.

What Type of Oil Does My Dodge Grand Caravan Need?

Whether it’s synthetic, conventional, or a blend of both — your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right oil for your Dodge Grand Caravan. Dodge has recommendations as to whether conventional or synthetic oil is the best motor oil for your 1998 Grand Caravan. Motor oil helps lubricate the engine’s moving parts, keep the engine cool, and keep harmful substances from building up inside the engine. During an oil change, a technician will change your Grand Caravan's oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, inspect the rest of your car’s filters, refill vital car fluids, and perform a free inspection on the rest of your vehicle. You can drive with confidence knowing that we look out for you and your Grand Caravan by taking into account your driving habits, and the number of miles on your odometer.

1998 Dodge Grand Caravan Oil Change Q&A

  • Should I check my Dodge Grand Caravan motor oil level? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If your oil runs low, these parts can grind together, generate too much heat, and eventually lead to Dodge Grand Caravan engine failure. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Dodge Grand Caravan oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Dodge Grand Caravan spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, fried piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Where can I get Dodge Grand Caravan oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Dodge Grand Caravan oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • What can cause the oil light on my Dodge Grand Caravan to illuminate? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Dodge Grand Caravan oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Does my Grand Caravan's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? You should replace your Dodge Grand Caravan during each oil change. The filter captures debris and contaminants to help keep your oil clean, which means the filter gets dirty. If you skip replacing the filter, you’ll contaminate your new oil with the dirty filter.
