Your 2016 Grand Caravan’s oil should be changed according to Dodge’s recommended oil change intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above. Your Grand Caravan may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust.

In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Dodge Grand Caravan. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

2016 Dodge Grand Caravan Oil Change Questions

  • Should I check my Dodge Grand Caravan motor oil level? Motor oil lubricates important engine parts. If you're low or out of oil, engine parts can grind together, generate excess heat, and cause your Dodge Grand Caravan engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Dodge oil on my own? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. 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 exhaust smoke grayish or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. It may be time for a pro to take a look. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
  • Who does Dodge Grand Caravan oil changes? Firestone Complete Auto Care performs Dodge Grand Caravan oil changes and more! Our technicians also replace oil filters, troubleshoot oil leaks, and advise on the right oil for your ride.
  • What can cause the oil light on my Dodge Grand Caravan to illuminate? 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.
  • Does my Grand Caravan's oil filter need to be changed during my oil change? It’s highly advised you replace the oil filter in your Dodge Grand Caravan every time you change the oil.
