2006 Dodge Grand Caravan Oil Filter Parts and Q&A

• Q: What Role Does an Oil Filter Play in Changing Engine Oil at Specified Mileage and Time Intervals on 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan?

  A: Check the oil when you're supposed to and only take the vehicle out when it has reached normal engine operating temperature. Prepare the vehicle on a flat spot and turn off the engine, then lift the hood and remove the cap from the oil. Put safety stands underneath the vehicle and put a drain pan under the crankcase outlet before anything else. After opening the drain plug, empty the oil into the container and look for any damage to the plug threads; if you see any, install a new drain plug and gasket where needed. Take out the oil filter and afterwards fit and tighten the drain plug in the crankcase. Replace the oil filter, lower the vehicle, add the proper engine oil into the crankcase and put the oil fill cap back in place. After you start the engine, look for any leaks and then, when the engine is off, check the level of the oil. Old engine oil should be disposed of properly, because it can threaten your health and the environment.
