Diagram? Your kidding right? Or are you looking for procedures? In that case, 1. Warm up the vehicle. 2. Carefully get the front safely off the ground so you can fit under there. 3. remove the drain plug on the oil pan..make sure you use proper tools. 4. let it drain into a pan that can hold all the oil. 5. After drained good, reinstall drain plug, then go to where the filter is. 6. remove filter by rotating counterclockwise. will be a little messy, but try and be careful, and catch the oil in the pan of waste oil. 7. make sure the filters mounting point is clean, and no o ring is on the mounting surface. then use clean oil, and lightly smear some on the new oil filters o ring. 8. Install new oil filter where the old one was removed. 9. Hand tight is good. 10. then go under hood,and remove oil fill cap, and begin to fill engine with fresh new oil. most caravans take 4.5 qrts for your year.

I'm not trying to be mean when I say this, but if you need a diagram to do an oil change, you should probably pay someone else to do the oil change for you. But hat might not be why you are asking.
If you'd like to know where the drain plug is and where the oil filter is located, ask the folks at your local quick change facility to show you where they are. Just let them know that you're trying to learn to do this on your own. They ought to be able to help you. If not the service department at your local Dodge dealer can help you. As a lost resort, try the automotive shop at your local high school. I'm sure the instructor would be glad to show you and his/her class how to do an oil change on your vehicle. Just be prepared to donate something to the class like a case of oil or shop rags or something of that nature.
Also, as a precaution since you will have to raise your vehicle to change your oil, purchase the repair manual for your vehicle at your local auto parts store. It explains step by step what you need to do for an oil change. You might even consider spending the extra money on an extended drain synthetic oil like amsoil found at amsoil.com. then you'd only have to worry about changing your oil once a year and your filter twice a year.
Good luck!

Why do you need a diagram to change your oil? Drain the pan, remove the old and replace with a new filter and refill the oil pan to specified level, or, take it to JiffyLube and let them do all the work.

If you need a diagram to change the oil, you might as well take it to the shop.
