Unfortunately I don't have access to my car nor my owner's manual right now. It has 120,000+ miles on it. Thank you everyone for your help and fast responses. Much appreciated. :)

it will state the oil weight on the oil fill cap on this vehicle. Use whatever brand you prefer, they are all adequate as long as you change oil at a fairly regular interval. typically 5w30 was the oil of choice for dodge in those vans but the oil cap should verify that.

You did not state your engine size, but my wifes van is a 3.3L V6, and it takes a 5W30 oil. You can use a Synthetic, a Blend, (like Valvoline durablend) or a conventional base oil.

I love all the responses telling this person to look at the manual, under the hood or at the oil cap. My used van didn't come with the manual and the cap doesn't have it listed. Thanks for the help to those of you who actually gave an answer.

Read Your Owners Manual to be sure.

straight 30 weight covers most temperature ranges above freezing. If you live some where cold you may have to use 5w/20.

I'm not being mean, but the type specified in your owners manual.

If your car is over 90,000 Miles use 10W40 if is under use 10W30
But if you live in a hot weather use 10W40
