Yes, they have a filter that is located above the fuel tank (you have to lower the tank to get to it), that said, there really is no change interval. I'm thinking that if I still have either of our vans by the quarter of a million mark (only 93,000 to go for our older van), I will probably swap out the filter in spite of the fact that I've read reports of folks getting more than 400,000 miles out of theirs.

Wait, Shipo, you only have 153,000 on the '98?! No wonder you get such good mileage!

He-he, actually I noticed that it was showing three-fives and three-ones (as in 155,511 miles) this evening.

Transmission fluid change by hagbard

I have a 1997 Voyager (3L, 3spd Auto), been digging through my old receipts and notice that nothing has EVER been done with my transmission. No fluid replacement or change. How important is this? My car currently has 175,000 km (110k miles) on it and seems to be running fine. Should I ignore it?

"MAJOR TUNE UP"? by driabbboy

I HAVE A 1999 3.8L V6 DODGE CARAVAN AT 135,000 MILES. I AM STILL GETTING THE SAME GAS MILEAGE (BETTER THAN 20 IN TOWN) AS I HAVE FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. DO I REALLY WANT TO HAVE PLUGS AND WIRES REPLACED? SEEMS LIKE, IF AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT.

Many systems in the car are now "sensored" to the firing of your plugs.
Even before you will see any drop off in mileage, your car may start compensating itself for the less-than-efficient fuel burning at the plugs.
The biggest plug problem we've seen in our CPD mini's, is the gap gets larger.
You could probably re-use the plugs and wires, but they should be pulled, cleaned and gapped.
However, if you do it yourself, you will want to replace the wires and plugs when you see how much of a PITA the plug access is.
 
My 2 cents
Hope this helps. ood luck.
