Oil and Trany fluid[sm=laughat.gif][sm=imsorry.gif]
Myself,This would be my first Dodge and knew nothing about the Eng.,drive train,ECM, in a Caravan. Very much a DIY person.
Owners Manual are alright and a Haynes repair manual is a very good tool.
Reading back post's, spending time with the forum and search area's will give alot of insight on what to look for. 3.0 Eng. seem to have more issue's than the 3.3 and 3.8. Tranys? The 4 speed may have more issue's than the 3 speed.
I've learned more just seating back and reading.
