Spoke to an owner of a 2003 Dodge Grand Caravan this morning.  360,000 km on it, no transmission problems, regular maintenance only.

My dad's 2004 Dodge Caravan was the same.. Sold it at ~350,000km.. no transmission problems.. actually until ~300,000km no problems at all and even then only very minor things.

Would a Silicone-Teflon lubricant be safe on my dashboard and weatherstripping/door mouldings? I know people use Silicone lubricants, but I noticed the product below is "odourless", which would be great for interior jobs.

I don't know why you'd want Teflon for that purpose. Why not just get a can of regular silicone spray? It's odorless, too.

Also not sure I'd want to silicone the dashboard. It can leave shiny, blotchy patches if not applied perfectly evenly. Not a big deal on door seals, but not pretty on a dashboard. Actually, anything that would make a dashboard shiny is a bad thing, IMO.

Not it wasn't, I don't know the exact year off hand.  Somewhere around 2005-2008. And when the transmission went around 200k, that's when he got rid of it, and got a Hyundai Entourage.  Not sure why he needs a van.. Empty nesters and all...

Hmm okay a can of regular Silicon lubricant will do. I was gonna use it in the cracks between my passenger vent and the dash. It creaks/rattles and its very annoying.

Get some thin felt-like product...or even tissue.  Wedge in there with paperclip (or whatever). 

**EDIT** Silicon spray will work in very small crevices.  But you'll be re-spraying every few months.

That's another thing that is annoying.

Lexus know who I am, why do the dealers not have access to that information?  I have to give the dealer all the same information that I gave corporate.  It's like that for every manufacturer.

They didn't have my info because I own a Lexus that never needs repairs.  I'm just getting some recalls done.
