I just switched to Pennzoil Platinum in my 05 Dodge Grand Caravan. What would be considered the recommended OCI for this oil if I want to do an extended OCI. I usually go 5000 on Havoline or Motorcraft.

It's hard to say without a used oil analysis, but I would think that unless you are towing or all stop and go you should be good for 7.5k miles.
In my Subaru's, with 5w30 PP at 7500-8000 miles, I have lower wear than the average UOA on cars at 4500 miles. Will your Caravan do as well as my Subaru's? I don't know.
Pennzoil warranties up to 4,000 miles or 4 months, whichever occurs first.
First off, the 05 year model is to old for the Pennzoil Warranty. Big play on words here.
If your Caravan is in good mechanical shape you can easily go 7,500 miles. Being that your in SD I would suggest you do what I do here in WI. I use the Platinum in my Hondas and during the cold winter months I do 5,000 oci, but spring summer and fall I do 7,500.

Nope, you're fine if you have less than 36K miles. Just substitute "Pennzoil" for "QS" in the following warranty terms. (It's the same program administered out of Buffalo, NY). And remember, just recently Pennzoil/QS changed the program and will not allow DIY oil changes for new program members. So, you have to get a receipt at WalMart, et al, to show the oil change/filter was performed. Existing members grandfathered, reportedly.
"How to get coverage.
To qualify for coverage all you have to do is get a Quaker State® oil change or change your oil with Quaker State®. Your engine must have less than 36,000 miles and have been manufactured within the last 48 months. It's that easy!
How to keep it.
Just get a Quaker State® oil change at a service center or change your oil with Quaker State® every 4,000 miles or 4 months, whichever comes first. This may not be the same as some vehicle manufacturers recommend, but neither is the length of our limited warranty. The oil filter and air cleaner elements must be replaced and the emission control system must be maintained in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations. You have to take very good care of your engine if you want it to last for ten years. Or 250,000 miles. Our limited warranty is transferable. The Quaker State limited warranty offers something that could prove valuable if you sell your vehicle before it's gone 250,000 miles. The limited warranty can be transferred to the next owner."
