This factory service and repair manual for the 2013 Chevrolet Caprice specifies two flex-fuel engines on one body: the naturally aspirated 3.6-liter DOHC V6 of 217 cubic inches and the naturally aspirated 6.0-liter overhead-valve V8 of 364, both fitted to a four-door sedan sold only as the PPV. The V6 car and the V8 car look alike from outside but diverge under the hood, and the manual keeps their engine mechanical, fuel and emissions procedures separate rather than blending them into one chapter.

- 3.6L V6 (217 cu in) — DOHC, naturally aspirated, flex-fuel
- 6.0L V8 (364 cu in) — OHV, naturally aspirated, flex-fuel
Body styles covered

Known issues on the 2013 Caprice. Owners have filed six complaints against this model year. Two of them name the electrical system, with one each on the fuel and propulsion system and on the steering — a small tally, but pointed at three systems that a hard-worked sedan leans on. The manual answers all three directly: charging, grounding and body electrical diagnostics with full wiring diagrams, fuel delivery and pressure specifications for both engines, and the steering gear, pump and column procedures with their torque values and clearance figures.
