Ok, this is my first time changing the oil in the viper. How much oil does this thing take? I have heard 7 qts?

8.5 quarts is what I've been told. Chuck Tator or Larry Macedo could verify
this, but I know 8.5 is very close, then just use your dipstick. 10 quarts is
way too much for the 97. I would add 8 quarts, and then check it.

This is all providing you have the stock oil pan.

My 98 takes 8.5. Put 8 qts in then check, add, check, add...

When all else fails, check the owner's manual -- 8.5 quarts!

I'll say it first: The year matters. Check your owners manual and any supplements. Also make sure your stock oil pan wasn't changed to a different capacity.

I put exactly..EXACTLY...9 q's in mine every single time without fail. I have an 01 RT10. BUT it is yellow an I think yellow takes more oil b/c the yellows are faster... :lolcry: :lolcry:

You aren't allowed to ask stupid questions like that on this board. I'm sure someone on .morgue would be more than happy to help. Thank you, come again.

Really? I didn't get a owners manual with my car, we filled it to 8.5 which seemed to be perfect.

No dude, i was just kidding. I just realized how badly I butchered that sentence!

Year matters.

People who don't have owners manuals should either search behind the seats which is where most are or buy one. Better yet, buy a Service Manual from ebay or something.
