Previously I started a thread to help fill out when fluids should be changed and with what (http://vca2.viperclub.org/forums/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=UBB14&Number=258628&Forum=UBB14&Words=&Match=Entire%20Phrase&Searchpage=0&Limit=25&Old=3months&Main=258628&Search=true#Post258628).
I have now revised the Viper Fluids chart to contain the extra information I received: http://www.yandros.com/ViperFluids.htm
If anyone has any additional information to add, please let me know, including any other differences for different cars (e.g., higher gen1 fuel capacity, etc.). Also, presumably this should now be placed somewhere on this board, probably under the "Illustrated" section and/or FAQ section (don't make it hard to find!) - I have it in Word and can convert to PDF if so desired.
Finally, since we all know fluids are not the only thing in need of maintenance, I'd like to collect info on other things (including part #s, alternative brands, frequency to change, etc.) that need typical maintenance. Offhand, I can think of the following:
Air Filter (probably need to discuss standard and K&N)
Fuel Filter
PCV Valve (which Vipers have this?)
Spark Plugs (from my experience, every 20k is perfectly fine)
Spark Plug Wires (from my experience, every 40k is perfectly fine; also, avoid Mopar blue wires for typical use as you may get static interference through the radio/CD player)
Anything else to include?
Also, any typical procedures for changing various fluids (e.g., Janni's post on changing power steering fluid: http://vca2.viperclub.org/forums/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=UBB14&Number=102234&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=1), changing the aforementioned maintenance items, any info on special tools for any of this, where to get alternative items, etc. would be appreciated.
