2016 → Dodge → Caravan → 3.6L → 6-Cylinder → VIN G

Always verify the complete VIN, rather than relying on only one character.

FAQ

What engine does the 2016 Dodge Caravan use?

This page covers the 3.6L 6-cylinder V6 engine application for the 2016 Dodge Caravan.

The application covered here uses VIN G in the 8th digit. Parts listings specifically identify the 2014–2016 Caravan 3.6L 6-cylinder application with VIN G.

The 3.6L engine used in this generation is part of Chrysler’s Pentastar engine family. It is a naturally aspirated V6 mounted transversely in the front of the vehicle.

The engine bay has a distinctive black upper cover marked 3.6L VVT, with the battery and other service components positioned around the engine compartment.

Because the engine is installed transversely, some components and accessories are arranged differently from a longitudinal rear-wheel-drive engine. This is one reason that simply searching for a generic 3.6L engine is not enough when replacing the engine.

The 2016 Dodge Caravan application and VIN information should be confirmed before a replacement is selected.

You should not assume that every vehicle has identical specifications. Verify the VIN and vehicle configuration before ordering a replacement.

Yes. The documented application is a 3.6L 6-cylinder engine.

Check the year, model, engine size, cylinder configuration and VIN. Providing the complete VIN is the safest way to have the application verified.
