How many quarts of transmission fluid does a 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan hold?
Approximately 11 quarts in total; the exact amount depends on service method and whether the torque converter is included.
On the 2013 Grand Caravan, which uses the 62TE six‑speed automatic, the transmission requires Dexron VI ATF and has a capacity that varies with whether you drain only or perform a full flush. This article breaks down typical quantities and practical considerations for owners and DIY technicians.
Capacity by service scenario
This section outlines the two most common service options and the ATF quantities you should expect to purchase or have on hand.
Complete system fill (including torque converter)
The following estimate applies when performing a full system refill, including the torque converter and with a new filter as part of the service.
- Total system capacity: about 11–12 quarts
Keep in mind that exact figures can vary slightly by vehicle and fluid viscosity. Always verify the level after the service using the dipstick and follow the manufacturer’s level marks.
Drain and fill (pan and filter only)
The following estimate applies to a typical pan drain and filter replacement, without flushing the torque converter or performing a full system flush.
- Pan drain and fill capacity: about 9–10 quarts
For DIY steps, ensure the engine is warmed up, the vehicle is level, and the transmission is in Park with the parking brake set before rechecking the level. Use Dexron VI ATF.
Fluid type and service tips
Dexron VI is the recommended ATF for the 62TE transmission in this model year. Do not mix ATF types. When topping off, add fluid gradually and recheck with the dipstick with the engine idling and the transmission in Park or Neutral, as specified in the service manual.
Summary
In short, the 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan's automatic transmission holds around 11 quarts of ATF in total. For a full system refill, plan on about 11–12 quarts; for a pan drain and filter replacement, about 9–10 quarts. Always use Dexron VI and verify level according to the dipstick markings after service.
