Madmax Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 I can't believe on my Grand Voyager, that they say the engine oil needs changing every 3000 miles. Even my old cab could do 10000 miles before the oil needed changing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bignev Posted April 27, 2021 Report Share Posted April 27, 2021 On the 3.3 or 3.8 petrols, they are over head VALVE, pushrod engines, not overhead CAM, seriously old technology hey. That's why the oil changes are so frequent, it's a ruddy old engine, just like the stuff from the early days of my driving in the early 80's. From my owners handbook written by Chrysler, under "normal" operating conditions, the oil and filter changes on the 2.5 diesel engine are at 20,000 kilometres, 12,500 miles. It doesn't cover the 2.8 which I believe is quite a different unit. And I don't really get why we have an area on the forum titled "newbie" it's kind of a non area really, as I've advised many people lots of members do not check here if they're on to help others out in the "vehicle assistance" sections.
