Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 1996 Eurovan (7DH).
Fluid capacities, tune-up values and fuel economy at a glance.
Replacement part sizes and factory part numbers — battery, bulbs, filters and belts.
From the factory this vehicle uses a BCI 97R · 575 CCA battery. Each part links to every other vehicle that shares it, so a part you already stock may fit more of your fleet than you'd expect.
