...and a reminder for those with 2000, 2001, and 2002 Vipers:
Sure I should've changed my own oil but didn't---
Went in to "Planet Dodge" last Saturday in Miami, made small talk with service writer and their Viper tech about poor past service experiences at other south Florida 5-star dealers including specifically mentioning getting shorted 2 quarts of oil on an oil change in my '00 RT/10 last year.
After leaving Planet Dodge I happen to take a close look at their invoice and noticed that they charged me for only 8 quarts so I turn around and head back to check the oil level and arrive just in time to see the Viper tech getting in his car to go home and I ask him how much oil he put in. He said "eight and that's the right amount; no doubt about it" and he just drove off. Not only did he short me & argue with me but they only had one more quart of Mobil 1 in stock. What a pain. Left them with a copy of the owner's manual listing 10 qt oil capacity and swore off another Dodge dealership.
Ah, it reminded me of still another fine south Florida Dodge dealer that I visited to adjust my '00 hood. Amazingly, when they gave me my car back, I noticed that they forgot to fully close & latch the hood leaving it open about 2-3".
