Kyle, this is unreal! A local barber in my area just got arrested for selling drugs. It was unbelievable, I've been his customer for years! I had no idea he was a barber.

[@OfficialParkit]

Hahahaha XD

how to u reeset the oil love on the fairlane and the 240 do u mis the fairlane or not hows the saab

[@paulstarr4796]

good one

[@cbzo6]

I usually drain the oil before taking the filter off. Nice Viper 🏁

[@saabkyle04]

Thanks buddy!

[@TheCybusterGundam]

Actually taking the filter off is better for most cars. You will get a smooth oil drain. Just my experience btw.

[@mypalAbra]

TheCybusterGundam just pop the oil fill cap. Prevents the suction and the oil will drain smooth

[@kells77]

TheCybusterGundam bull shit just take oil filler cap Take filter off last

[@laroniawright1242]

[@icurt06]

Your living the dream. Taking your Viper to the dealer, putting it on a lift and changing the oil yourself! Love those wheels : )

[@saabkyle04]

The folks at Northpoint are great, they're always willing to accommodate my filming needs :)

[@therealicon4781]

Man if I had a lift. It would be so much simpler.

[@saabkyle04]

That's the truth!

[@automan224]

theRealicon it's called a floor jack and jack stands. But I know what you mean XD

[@MoparGuy1625]

[@therealicon4781]

SPaoline4302 Nice, I surely will consider something like this. Do you own one? Is it reliable and convenient as it sounds.

[@MoparGuy1625]

theRealicon yes and yes!!!!

[@paologv701]

Thanks for uploading this video, it's cool to see not only basic maintenance related to a viper, which is always a good thing, but to see the cool workspace an (what seems to be) autorized dealer has! I worked for a year and a half as a technician helper for a Chrysler dealership here in Venezuela and the diference is quite massive, specially when it comes to the variety of cars they work on. Keep up the good work dude, I really like your videos. Cheers!

[@saabkyle04]

Thanks so much Paolo and thanks for sharing!

[@WhiteCarBlackWheels]

kyle i can't get over how good the brown interior in this car looks. i never liked the viper but this thing sure is special. keep up the A1 vids!

[@colin1992]

keep up the good work my man! always a pleasure to see your videos

[@motonvipr]

Kyle, I'm surprised they had you take the filter out first. Maybe it was for them to have a good laugh. I always do drain plugs first then oil filter. Btw, I was having trouble draining the oil from my '15 Viper (last night!). My driveway is in a slope and we left it over night only to drain about 5 quarts of oil. I know the car has to be level when draining. There's a write up in the VOA Forums. Thanks for sharing the video!

[@matkovicha]

So glad to see you take your car to the track. It seems like so many people buy cars like this and just leave them in the garage. Let that glorious V10 sing!

[@MrNuclearr16]

Great video as always Kyle!!

I like that a viper is using pennzoil. Matches that one commercial.

[@doc2517]

Some friends criticize and laugh at me for wearing surgical gloves when I do certain mechanic work. I guess they think in order to be a man you must have sandpaper hands and dried cracked fingernails. lol

[@christwist8455]

Doc Lol I agree with you. Everyone thinks the ideal mechanic should be messy. They don't know how nasty oil and other fluids are when they come in contact with your skin either!

[@edwardbrearey6413]

And if you wear contacts there is a 100% chance your fingers are going in your eyes in a few hours.

[@jeezleweez]

The ladies also like when I protect the hands that allow me to bodywork on them.

[@EdwardJamesBickels]

The proper term is bitch mittens

[@issoloko2412]

Ignore your friends. Oils or addictives are bad for you. In the next few years they can see the consequences themselves. Take care of yourself.

[@ytube777]

crack the oil refill cap open first and then you'll get smooth flow whatever order you do the filter or pan drain.

[@peterwurstmann841]

Wow nice video, so actually as always :)

my favorite notification! your Car are insane!

[@saabkyle04]

Thank you bud!

[@onlycodered]

It's a sad day when the oil filter location is better on a Viper than a Civic Si. I would know because I had one. Had to remove the passenger side wheel every oil change to get at it. I've got a Focus now which has a similar location to the Viper. I can get an oil change completed in about 15 minutes.

[@ChalupaxX1]

Congrats on a million subs

[@saabkyle04]

Thanks!!

[@pablomacias1801]

Kyle reminds me of that one guy who knows a lot about cars but can bearly do an oil change.. loljk

Dang it i love the gen 5's makes me want one! oil change is the same on gen 2 takes 20 mins with no lift simple and easy! Do you ever cut the filter and check for metal? (I track mine and always check)

[@ddonttripbro]

God damn. That car is beautiful

[@adams5155]

I was instructing at a track day and one of the students damaged their Vipers engine. I was told that the reason why it was harmed was cause Dodge recommends that they should use an extra quart of oil during track use. Wondering if you have heard of this.

[@Darksyne]

When changing the oil on a modern viper is easier than changing the oil on most modern German cars and Toyotas >.>

[@yungsmut5743]

Toyotas are easy as fuck what are you smoking?

[@Darksyne]

+Jacob Sterkel I never said they were difficult you stupid fuck... I'm saying the oil change is easier on the viper because you don't need to use special tools or make sure the o-rings are seated properly on the oil filter like on the Toyotas...

[@yungsmut5743]

Darksyne keep bitching

[@BigRedtheGinger]

Jacob Sterkel I guess you've never done an oil change on the newer ones(2010+) that require a special tool for the oil filter housing. It's not hard, but at the same time, the Viper doesn't need a special tool for the filter, unlike the Toyota products.

[@Darksyne]

Jacob Learn to read

[@gabrielsweatt]

You never changed oil before ? Don't lie. Video says it all 😂😂

[@97I30T]

Gabriel Jones He said he's never changed the oil before specifically on this Viper. Haha.

[@saabkyle04]

Like KentB27 said, this was a first for a Viper haha.

[@gabrielsweatt]

haha, awsome!!

[@Ufphen]

So many haha's.

Gabriel Jones it’s for sure his first oil change.

[@kimisadventure96]

hey kyle i've got a question... why did you blur something that was on the cupboard?

I did the oil in my 2000 E430 the other day, I thought I had to use a lot of oil at 8 quarts! anyway there's just something satisfying about watching the old oil drain out isn't there?

I was really confused for a second when I saw all the oil you got. Then I remembered this thing is an 8.4L naturally aspirated 640(?)hp beast.

[@OfficialParkit]

hey I have a question did you choose your interior color? or did that color catch your eye when you saw it? Brown looks very luxury and the viper is very much in my opinion a supercar... thanks

[@saabkyle04]

This car is a 2013 model so it was already liked that, I just LOVED the color contrast. It gives the car so much character!

[@johnyp2967]

[@Dre2383]

Hey Kyle you should've came to the Greensboro Dodge/Jeep dealer on Wendover!

[@njx1993]

Hey Kyle also don't forget about your rear diff fluid. I've read from multiple people that you have to change that as often as your change the oil.

[@ForTehNguyen]

viper manual says 36k miles for the diff, 6k for every oil change. Obviously if tracking it requires more often, but yea its good iea to at least get the break in fluid out.

[@elite2sick225]

I always wonder did u buy the viper new or used?

Hey kyle! Do you have any idea on how manufacturers decide what lug nut configurations to use? Because some suv have 6, some have 5 and most sedans and sport cars use 5. But the viper has 6... anyway its a confusing topic and I’d like to understand what factors are taken into account

[@StockCarGuy]

the viper hub is based off the dodge dakota truck, also more strength

[@dodgebuddy08]

i have a question for you kyle how old is the viper

[@joeychaseable]

Hey Kyle, Stan from Fort Wayne, Indiana. Just wondering if you've ever given any thought of expanding @ your "store/office" with a garage of your own. A garage with a lift where you're able to do more videos of this type or special builds?

[@saabkyle04]

Hey Stan! I would love that, but it's a bit out of my price range at this time. Plus, since it's not really a focus of the channel right now, it probably wouldn't be worth the investment. Who knows, maybe if the stars aligned one day :)

[@joeychaseable]

Right on... Maybe a spin off channel in the future. Maybe you could reach out to some possible sponsors. Snap On for a big beautiful box and tools, a company that makes lifts, Miller for welders ect. Dreams, I know! Best of luck to you, your channel and any future ventures.

[@saabkyle04]

I appreciate that, thank you for the suggestion!!

[@sDeezyeazy]

Great video! What did you study in college by the way? My apologies if this has been answered before or is in an easy to locate place but I always wondered if you were an engineer or not.

[@saabkyle04]

I actually went to school for Pharmacy! I graduated with my pharmD back in 2013 :)

Well congratulations to you then! I was originally going to study Pharmacy but I switched to Mechanical Engineering before beginning classes. Suppose it suits my automotive passion better.

[@eaglesquade.s1300]

I do have a auto clinic right across from my house. I believe that’s where my dad gets his oil change.

[@91Wildcat700]

Hey Kyle I noticed you are using the OEM 0W40 oil. If you go into Instagram there is a guy called SneakySnakes who also has a Gen 5 Viper who met the head developer for the Vipers V10 Dick Winkles at the Viper nationals. He said after talking to Mr Winkles that they only specked the 0w40 because it achieved better fuel economy and that when running a higher viscosity like 10W40 they saw a noticeable decrease in bearing wear. Just thought I would share that information since you have a Gen 5 as well.

[@saabkyle04]

Hey, I appreciate you sharing that with me! I haven't heard that myself, but it's worth digging into. Interesting nonetheless, thanks!

[@LawrenceMarkFearon]

Yeah I know your Viper's gone already but since you have such a complete viper experience on YT, I'm gonna add that Winkles did say use thicker oil and the Viper Clubs have started using thicker viscosity, such as 15/40. Cold oil pressure improves too.

how many miles you go on oil before change?

[@LuisCruz-ck7fk]

Next time use Mobil 1 Full Synthetic way more better than Pennzoil. Nice video.

[@theupscale7130]

Hey Kyle, I have a question about oils for you. I have a GMC Envoy with around 160k miles, and it runs great. It's had conventional oil all it's life, and I wanted to switch over to synthetic. There's no problem with that right?

[@photilal1960]

The Upscale used to be an old thing that switching caused leakage or burning oil bc the synthetics actually removed some contaminants that were preventing it. Just run a synthetic blend high mileage and you should be safe

[@theupscale7130]

Thanks for the comment bud :) I appreciate it

[@photilal1960]

The Upscale np man

[@theupscale7130]

Thanks for the heads up :) I want the poor truck to last, it's been abused so much, so I'm trying to take care of it

[@imlerith329]

the correct isn't drain the oil first and after that remove the filter ?

[@saabkyle04]

Yeah, I didn't think about it, but it would have been less messy haha.

[@jonasthemovie]

So the drain plug has moved forward even more?? Why why why?

[@crackalope]

oh thanks because i too have a viper that needs the oil changed

[@tragichero7746]

2:05 See guys. That is why you always make sure the gasket is still on the filter. If you went and put a filter on, on top of the old gasket, as soon as the car was started.....oil everywhere.

[@D4LM4R]

Yeah, drain b4 filter, no splashes

[@saabkyle04]

Good to know for next time ;)

[@bobert866]

Saabkyle04 I drain first then remove the filter. Also, make sure the engine is vented before draining as well either by pulling the dipstick or removing the fill cap. This allows the air to be displaced smoothly and no chugging occurs with the oil. Just in case you get stuck with a smaller drain pan than seen in the video. Cool vid!

[@ashleyandanthony4554]

Kyle!!!

[@danielgamez210]

Hey Kyle, that's a nice car! Pro tip: the oil bottles are designed to be poured the other way. You were pouring with the spout at the bottom. It should be done with the spout at the top during the pour.

[@ronaldjeffersonjr]

Vipers are special cars no doubt but the dealership will take you to the cleaners. I just paid $231 for an oil change on mine and last year's price was around $150. I think I might be doing it myself next year.
