Dodge Grand Caravan ES
| | Model of the car: | Dodge Grand Caravan ES | | | General comments: | Good thing For Chry Some people dont read the reviews Befor shopping ;However since my 1990 Ply Grand Vo 3.3 ltr has 206,700 miles on it (hint-- Used semi synthetic Oil since 1997 when purchased with 93,000 on it ) And the engine is still in top shape No valve or ring problems No blue smoke from exaust even on a cold start (Oil changed at no more than 3000 miles) A bit excessive by most service charts but well worth it (same results with a 1980 ford truck 194,000 + miles) same oil same results Now Its the 98's turn First night home it got a oil change 1st one will be Full synthetic To Freshen it up a bit (40,000) miles on it so its due. Then all changes after that will be SemiSynthetic at 3000 miles
Next is the trany Oh The trany Yes as you have read they dont go the extra mile so it pays to buy the warenty But MOST IMPORTANT IS YOUR FLUID ATF +3 ONLY If THE STORE YOU STOP AT DOESNT HAVE IT BETTER YOU PUSH YOUR CAR TO THE NEXT ONE THAT SELLS IT DO NOT USE ANY OTHER FLUID Change at no more than 20,000 miles
Time will tell with the new van I hope to have the same results although the reviews sound a much different tone | | | What things have gone wrong with the car: | Trans are crap | | | Previous car: | erector set |
