Does anyone know where to add trans fluid on a 2013 Grand Caravan. I know it doesn't have a transmission oil dip stick, and I don't see a "Dealer Use Only" transmission oil cap.


Did they do something different for 2013 to fill the transmission?


I just added a trans oil cooler and the cooler holds 5.5 ounces. I would like to add the 5.5 ounces to the trans, but can't find the access point.


Did not see a drain/fill plug on the trans pan.


Not looking forward to taking it to the dealer as they always put 6 quarts of motor oil in my Avenger that only holds 4.5 quarts.

 

I'm guessing you have the 62TE 6 speed transmission. Maybe this will get you there. Look at the last picture in this article: http://www.allpar.com/mopar/transmissions/62TE.html

If the tube is there you may want to talk to your dealership before removing that cap so you don't void the warranty.

 

Here's two pictures of a 2104 Ram Cargo Van (the cargo version of the Caravan), with the front end torn off, showing the location of the filler tube and cap:





You can see more picture of that van HERE.

There's also a picture here: http://www.allpar.com/trucks/ram/ProMaster.html (about half way down the page) showing the 3.6l and 62TE combo in the ProMaster van, the engine and transmission are the same as your van, you can see the fill plug is bright yellow in that picture (the plug in my 2009 is black).

Thanks. I finally found it.
