New UK Owner-Need some help please

Hi,

After 10 years of wanting I am finally the proud owner of a 93 RT10. Having had the car checked out I picked it up last night and enjoyed the 139 mile drive back to my home.

At the moment the car does not have an owners manual, so I have a couple of very simple questions, answers to which I am sure are in the manual!!.

Can someone please tell me:

What grade of oil I should put in the engine?

Having taken the soft top off, how do I dismantle the actual top to get it into the boot (trunk)?

The car holds its engine temp at around 190 degrees, but I did notice that when I am in traffic the needle starts to move up, it got as high as 210, before I started to move again. I guess the real check is just to leave it idling on my drive and see what it does. Any one have any comments?

Thanks folks

Kevin

Mobil 1 10W-30 is the factory fill, though you only find it at specialist garages, most of the UK Chrysler dealerships dont stock it, youll need about 10 litres of it with a filter change

cant help with the roof, only ever had a hardtop on my RT

190 is normal, the fan should be kicking in I guess by 210

our UK club site can be found at www.ukviperclub.co.uk we've a forum as well
