The Dodge Caravan takes different types of transmission fluid depending on whether it has a manual or automatic transmission.
For manual transmissions, the recommended standard for the Dodge Caravan is API GL-4 oil. This is to prevent damage to the bronze synchronizers in the transmission caused by the sulfur found in GL-5 oils.
For automatic transmissions, the recommended transmission fluid for the Dodge Caravan is ATF+ Type III, also known as Dexron II and Mercon.
It’s important to use the correct type of transmission fluid for your Dodge Caravan to ensure optimal performance and to prevent damage to the transmission.
Please note that it’s always a good idea to consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual or contact a certified Dodge dealership for the most accurate and up-to-date information on the specific transmission fluid requirements for your Dodge Caravan.
