What type of oil is needed for 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan?
According to the manual :( page 441 )Engine Oil Viscosity (SAE Grade) - 3.3L & 3.8L Gasoline EnginesSAE 5W-20 engine oil is recommended for all operating temperatures. This engine oil improves low temperature starting and vehicle fuel economy. Your engine oil filler cap also shows the recommended engine oil viscosity for your vehicle.For information on engine oil filler cap location, refer to the Engine Compartment illustration in this section. Lubricants which do not have both, the engine oil certification mark and the correct SAE viscosity grade number should not be used.Engine Oil Viscosity (SAE Grade) - 4.0 Liter EnginesSAE 10W-30 engine oil is preferred for all operating temperatures. The engine oil filler cap also shows the recommended engine oil viscosity for your vehicle.Lubricants which DO NOT have both, the engine oil certification mark and the correct SAE viscosity grade number should not be used."( page 444 )Synthetic Engine OilsYou may use synthetic engine oils provided the recommended oil quality requirements are met, and the recommended maintenance intervals for oil and filter changes are followed.Materials Added to Engine OilThe manufacture strongly recommends against the addition of any additives (other than leak detection dyes) to the engine oil.

Can you use 10w40 on a Saturn L300?
As the engine wears, the bearing clearances become a little larger, REQUIRING that you use a higher viscosity oil to maintain oil pressure. If using the recommended oil viscosity results in low oil pressure, you should certainly switch to the 10W40. HOWEVER, if the engine can maintain oil pressure using the recommended oil viscosity, you will get better economy and the engine will perform better.
