How do you change your own oil on 2012 dodge grand caravan?

Answer 1

A suitable filter is Purolator Classic L36135. The drain plug is 13 mm and found under the van passenger side. The filter is under the hood passengers side near a large air hose. The nut to remove the air hose is 5/16" the nut to remove the filter cap is 24 mm. Remove 13 mm drain plug, remove fresh oil fill cap, for venting. Pull off small air hose from air box then loosen 5/16 hose clamp on large air hose, and move that hose out of the way of the filter canister. Remove 24 mm filter cap. exchange new for old filter, also there s/b a new O ring with the filter this goes on the fill cap. Put it all back together, don't forget the drain plug, and fill with 6 quarts. Run it a minute to make sure all is right, and note that the CHANGE OIL INDICATOR has become active.. Then rest CHANGE OIL INDICATOR by 1. Key to "ON" position but not through start. 2. Slowly press the gas pedal to the floor 3 times but within 10 seconds. 3. Turn key "OFF". 4. Start van to verify the reset took place, if not try again. Jellybean 20121024
