What is the maintenance schedule for the 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan?
You want your Dodge Grand Caravan to last as long as possible. With the right maintenance at the right time, your Grand Caravan could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark.

Just follow your 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan maintenance schedule!
The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Dodge, your vehicle manufacturer. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Grand Caravan perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan problems later.
Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan for factory-recommended routine maintenance and a skilled technician will start the appointment with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Grand Caravan's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.
Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan. If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Yours may need to be replaced sooner depending on your driving habits and climate. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Dodge Grand Caravan battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Grand Caravan stranded. Your Dodge Grand Caravan could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan engine.
