2005 3.8 approximately one 45,000 miles. Engine uses less oil if I add Marvel mystery oil to it, which is apparently making the ring seat better by not getting gunked up in cold winter weather. stock motor stock transmission with some fluid occasional sucked out the top with a mighty vac, I don’t change it all at once, that can be a no-no Based on my experience with the other vehicles.

My 2002 Voyager has 252,000+ miles on it! Still running great! Anyone have any higher??

 

[Hoserr]

Wow can't believe the van is at 180,000 Kms now.Only 20,000 kms to go until the big 200,000 kms. Seems just like yesterday I bought the van. Is their any thing that I should be on a look out for at this point?

Also whats the current mileage on your 4th gen?

07 Chrysler town and country limited, 64,000

My Chrysler Voyager 3.3 from 2004 has just reached 200.000 miles. Engine is still very good.

Just hit 300,120K miles this week. Just came back from an 800 miles road trip, to take our daughter to college. (We had to remove the 3rd row seats and use a roof top carrier for all her stuff) Ran the AC the entire time and she ran great. Still have the OEM engine, trans. and AC. Getting around 24 MPG highway and 18-20 MPG city/highway.

I just took ownership of this '04 TNC touring with 154k ... Only had her a couple days but I hope to use these forums to help keep everything smooth sailing for the future.

Congratulations and welcome to the forums. You should be able to find anything you need here and on YouTube. That's a nice looking van. I use AutoZone and RockAuto.com for replacement parts. Do you have maintenance records?

 

[Stewngew]

I sold my old one, a -03, a week ago, had about 140k miles. My new one, a -07, only have about 90k.

Welcome.

90k for a 07 is really nothing.

 

[Honeyko]

I have over 250,000 miles on an '03.

 

[bikemannc]

" also whats the current mileage on your 4th gen van?" This is why i put mine out in mileage.

206k miles ..just turned this afternoon.

To make it even more confusing, people in metric countries could use metric miles. Unfortunately, depending on context, that is either 1500 m (swimming) or 1600 m (running), except in Britain (you Brits really have to have things your own way, don't you?) where it is 1500 m in running as well. For automotive purposes, I would choose 1600 m, since that's closest to the statute mile. I have no idea what the abbreviation for a metric mile is, but I supposed "mmi" would work.

Or the British Empire and all its offspring (including the USA) could pull their heads out of their asses and go completely metric.

On a side note, because mpg and l/100km are reciprocal measures, distance per volume vs. volume per distance respectively, the conversion between the two is the same both ways, y = 235/x.
For example, 30.0 mpg = 235/30.0 = 7.83 l/100km, and 8.00 l/100km = 235/8.00 = 29.4 mpg to three digits precision (the same precision as the formula).

But WHY should we follow the world when so many of y'all want to come here? Seriously though sure metrics are much more exact but so much is now in non- metric and a good challenge to have it both ways.

I have 125,000 miles on my 2007 T&C. I bought it in 2018 with 85K miles on it. The Carfax was detailed with all oil changes done on time and trans fluid flushed around 75K. I do love the van and a few mechanics I have brought it to said it appears to be in great shape.
That all said, I only have one key for the engine. The 2nd key I had made does not have a chip and only works for the doors. Do I need to go to a Chrysler dealer to get a 2nd key for the engine?

 

[bikemannc]

That's the most expensive choice. A have a Locksmith here in Fayetteville,NC that gave another choice..$87.50 for another new key, cut, and programed in his shop to work in the ignition. or $45.00 if I bring my own programmable key and he will doo all the same . I'm likely going to pay him and just get two more keys. Though my 2095 owners manual state clearly that with two keys that work I can use the ignition and a set sequence and program 6 more keys myself.

 

[bikemannc]

BTW, my 2005 was bought at 190k and now has 206k on it. Only basic maintenance has been done since then ; all disc brakes serviced( flushing the fluid soon), tranny filter and pan dropped, and refilled, oil chgs., plugs wire set & coil block changed..and currently removing that frosted headlamp affect and all fluids to synthetic and chasing down the P0304 code

 

[Chimp]

I'm up to 241 k with my 2005 touring 3.8L. Same engine and transmission, but starting to wonder if I finally need some transmission work.

 

[jcwood]

350+ k on a 2007 touring 3.8L owned since new. Transmission just failed. Original engine and transmission. Just re-did complete front end, struts, control arms, sway bar links and bushings, wheel bearings, half shafts and brake pads, got maybe 3k miles before transmission failed. Been a good ride.

 

[Jonboy74]

344k and the transmission just started throwing codes....it may have just become a project car for the boys and I to work on. One just turnhed 16 and still has his permit, and the other will be turning 15 in January getting his permit next year, so just in time for them to gain an appreciation for proper car maintenance!

 

[Omy06DGC]

My '06 Dodge GC has 200600 miles or approximately 320000 km. It is DYI, well maintained and I have replaced struts, shocks, an alternator, drive belt, and a temperature sensor.

Close to 280,000 miles. Same engine.
