2014 Dodge GRAND CARAVAN Engine Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1154335

Model	GRAND CARAVAN
Model Year	2014
File date	15/01/15
Component	ENGINE
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Engine oil capacity is listed as 6 quarts (us) in multiple sources, however after draining and refilling engine on a level surface with 6 quarts, the dipstick reading showed at min level. After adding an additional 1/2 quart, the level reached the full mark. Most vehicle dipsticks are designed such that the amount of oil required to raise the level from min to max is 1 quart. There is no indication on the dipstick to indicate either way. This might also explain why my dealer overfilled the crankcase when i had them perform a previous oil change. Underfilling as well as overfilling the oil can result in premature engine wear and failure, as per manufacturers own literature and as such may constitute a potential safety hazard. A tsb should be issued to specify the correct capacity (6. 5qts? Unless dipstick markings are wrong) and also to explain the dipstick markings, assuming the current design is correct.
