Dodge recommends changing your 2006 Grand Caravan’s oil at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics 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 engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust.

2006 Dodge Grand Caravan Oil Change Q&A

  • What can low oil do to my Dodge Grand Caravan engine? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, engine parts can grind together, overheat, 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.
  • How hard is it to change Dodge Grand Caravan oil at home? Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Dodge Grand Caravan exhaust smoke grayish or blue? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, blown piston rings, or old cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Dodge Grand Caravan? You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care for your Dodge Grand Caravan oil change, oil filter replacement, oil leak diagnostics, and more! Our expert technicians will even advise the right oil for your vehicle.
  • What does it mean if my Dodge Grand Caravan oil light comes on? Your Dodge Grand Caravan oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.
  • Do I need to replace my Grand Caravan’s oil filter when changing my oil? 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.
