I just did the 500 mile oil change on my SRT and the car took right at 10 quarts with new filter to get the oil level to the top of the safe range. This agrees with the Owner's Manual.

Re: More info on paint protection film: some shrink/some don\'t
Sorry guys, I've been busy lately. Haven't even ordered it yet. I have been corresponding with a guy from this board who was having his Dodge dealer install Clearbra on the rockers and asked him to get back to me. The Dealer was...
I did the first oil change on the Viper. I made the set of step up ramps and they worked fine. I was unable to get to the drain plug from under the front of the car, however. I am not overly tall or have overly long arms. I was able to get it with no problem from the driver's side with a socket...
Rick,
Thanks for the step up ramp plans. Doesn't seem you would have much oil staying in the pan with the car front being slightly higher on the ramps with you needing 9.3 quarts of oil. I think the engine needs 10 with filter change per the owner's manual.
I had it down well with my...
Viper SRT:
Thanks for the confirmation. I was looking under the car tonight and saw the plug on the driver's side of the oil pan. looks like you could get it loose without having the car off the ground.
Has anyone here done an oil change with the car still on the ground?
I did a search and found several great pics showing where the filter is, now where is the drain plug located on the pan? Front or back? Saw a pic of most of the front part of the pan and couldn't make out the plug, so my guess is at the rear.
Would make it a lot easier to do my own oil changes...
After you get the situation straightened out, maybe you should buy a "Battery Tender Plus." They are about $50-$60, and you can leave them on your battery for extended periods of time. They actually are supposed to extend the life of your battery because they don't have the negative effects of...
Ok, the 14 miles is a Woodhouse thing, but "zero" miles on the odo means it was not driven by a tech period. Isn't that a common practice just to make sure everything is all right? Please correct me if I am wrong.
Dave
If the car has zero miles on the odo, then the car has probably not been tested by a Viper tech. My driver from Woodhouse told me that every Viper should have 14 miles on it because a Tech drives it a bit to make sure everything is working. I don't know if this is a SOP per Dodge or just what...
Sorry for this newbie question, but I washed the SRT 10 yesterday and I guess it is just a fact of Viper life that water gets in the engine compartment (not on the engine) thru the gills, especially when you open the hood to dry the areas you cannot get to with it closed?

More info on paint protection film: some shrink/some don\'t
Hi everyone,
Here is some more information on paint protection film.
I talked to some manufacturers of SRT 10 paint film kits who use 3M type film for the pieces, and was told that this film cannot be exposed to high heat like what...
\'04 SRT 10 initial driving impressions vs. corvette
Hi everyone,
The rain relented early in the afternoon so I took the Viper out for a drive this evening. Still in break in so nothing over 4,000 rpm. Not a lot of throttle, just cruising mostly.
My previous car was modified and put 393 HP to...
