The engine in your 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan should be running when you perform a transmission fluid level check, otherwise it will be inaccurate. The video above shows where the transmission fluid dipstick is located in your Grand Caravan and how to check the transmission fluid level. If the transmission fluid level in your Grand Caravan is low, you need to add transmission fluid through the dipstick tube. When adding transmission fluid to your Grand Caravan, be sure to add it slowly as it will fill up quickly and is difficult to remove excess fluid if you overfill. If you are having problems with the transmission in your Grand Caravan, such as clunky shifting or hesitation, check the fluid level first - it is amazing how many drivers pay thousands of dollars for transmission work when a half quart of transmission fluid would have fixed the problem.

There is no dipstick, but a tube where one should go. Taxiracer88 03-12-2016, 11:35 AM The tranny is completely sealed and only the dealership can check the fluid. They have a tool that they check it with. At first I was worried that I could not keep an eye on the fluid level and color, but...on second thought...if it is sealed then the chances of dirt, moisture, or debree getting in it is nil to none. Even on my 2005 van the only time it was checked was when I got an oil change. Tranny fluid is not something that needs to be checked daily like your oil and water. I put about 200,000 miles on my 2005 and only had the tranny fluid changed 2 times. Never had a problem. I used it and my 2013 as a taxi. The Grand Caravan is a good sturdy van...the only thing I don't like about my new van is the Black Interior...shows every grain of our white sand! LOL monteheeren 03-14-2016, 11:24 AM Thank you Taxiracer88 for your reply. georgef61 03-14-2016, 08:52 PM georgef61 03-15-2016, 10:02 PM ...I'm sure there is a procedure like get trans up to a certain temp, then stop left foot twice, etc. It can't be that hard. ... You will need a dipstick (many people have made their own) and you need to know the transmission fluid temperature to get an accurate reading (If your van has an EVIC the transmission temperature may be available there). There is also a dipstick available from Assenmacher Specialty Tools, it is tool #CRY933. They have instructions for checking the fluid level and the temperature charts here INSTRUCTIONS_CRY933 (http://asttool.com/pdf/INSTRUCTIONS_CRY933.pdf). Your van has the 62TE transmission. monteheeren 03-16-2016, 11:20 AM Thank you Georgef61! Just what the Dr. ordered! ;0) Didn't know I had an EVIC system. Will check tonight to see if it includes Trans Temp. I will order the dipstick! This forum is priceless!!!!! monteheeren 03-20-2016, 04:40 PM Bought a dipstick from carparts.com for $20.00. georgef61 03-20-2016, 10:55 PM ...My EVIC does not show trans temp. Is there any special procedure on EVIC to show trans temp?.. Sorry. I think I may have been mistaken about the EVIC showing the transmission temperature on these vans, I checked through the owners manual and could not find any reference to it. I think I was confusing it with the Jeeps, that do have that feature. You might want to check out the links in my post above dated 3-14-2016 (for some reason it didn't show up until today), there may be some useful information there. monteheeren 03-21-2016, 12:00 PM Thank you George61! Automotive Network, Inc., Copyright ©2022 Why is there no transmission dipstick?If you have a late-model car, it may not have a dipstick for checking the transmission fluid. Not only does this make it difficult to check fluid level and condition, it also eliminates the dipstick tube or opening through that fluid is normally added to an automatic transmission.
How do you check the transmission fluid level on a 2013 Chrysler Town and Country?Bring the vehicle up to operating temperature and check fluid level with engine idling. Push dipstick into transmission fill tube until it bottoms out against the transmission pan and pull out, read fluid level. NOTE: The dipstick will protrude from fill tube when installed.
