oil capacity

[Viper]

having the oil and filter changed next week down in tonbridge, it says in the service manual 9.5 litres (10 quarts) is required, I thought it was more than that ?

[bigviper]

think it was on the rt ,wait till Dr bob gets back he know,s .

I can't believe it, someting you don't know about Vipers?????????

I usually figure on about 9 litres, but start checking level on the stick at about 8 litres. Usually leave it just a bit below the max mark. Remember 2000(?) on has bigger oil pan.

Early RT/10's are 9.0 litres (9.5 Qts) including the oil filter. So looks like the GTS is slightly more.

I usually get about 8-9 Qts in the 97 but i think the later ones have a bigger sump and 10 qts sounds familiar,

first time my one took 8 and it ended up just below the full marker.
oil change is now due so I will double check it.

9.5L includes the oil filter, going with the correct oil grade 10-30
and a Mobil1 fiter this time, instead of the Mopar filter

I can tell you pin number 8 of 32 of the powertrain contol module (C1)
on circuit K24 looks after the crankshaft position sensor signal

now not a lot of people know that

ah but not knowing what voltage it should be is no better than knowing the engine needs oil but not how much
