2016 Dodge Viper fuel economy (EPA)
The EPA rates the 2016 Dodge Viper at 15 MPG combined. Every EPA test configuration is below, from the government's fuel-economy database.
City, highway and combined figures are in MPG (MPGe on electricity).
| Version | Engine | Transmission · drive | City | Hwy | Comb. | Fuel / yr | CO₂ g/mi |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Viper SRT | 8.4L 10-cylinder | 6-speed manual · RWD | 12MPG | 21MPG | 15MPG | $5,150 | 579 |
Source: U.S. EPA and Department of Energy, fueleconomy.gov. MPG is miles per gallon (MPGe for electric operation). Plug-in hybrids list gasoline-only MPG with the electric rating underneath. Annual fuel cost assumes 15,000 miles a year at the EPA's fuel-price assumptions, so yours will differ. Range is total driving range on a full tank or charge.

- Cold tire pressure
- Not a single number: the owner's manual refers to the tire and loading placard (driver's side B-pillar or rear edge of the driver's door), which lists the pressures for your exact tire size and load.
- Spare
- The spec sheet lists no spare; the manual describes compact, full-size and limited-use spares or a tire service kit, depending on equipment.
- Lug nut torque
- 107 ft-lb (145 N·m), 1/2" x 20 thread, 19 mm socket
- Pressure monitor
- A tire pressure monitoring system warns when a tire is low.
Sizes and pressures vary by trim, wheel package and load: check the placard on your vehicle and the tire sidewall. Sizes from the manufacturer's specification sheet (2016 Dodge Viper Specifications). Pressure and spare notes from the owner's manual.
2016 Dodge Viper maintenance schedule
The factory schedule for normal driving. Oil changes follow the oil-change indicator on most models; severe use (towing, dusty roads, lots of idling) shortens some intervals.
A dot means the service is due at that mileage or after that many years, whichever comes first.
- Change the engine oil and engine oil filter
- Rotate the tires, rotate at the first sign of irregular wear, even if it occurs before scheduled maintenance

Once a month
- Check tire pressure and look for unusual wear or damage. Rotate tires at the first sign of irregular wear, even if it occurs before your next scheduled service
- Inspect the battery, and clean and tighten the terminals as required
- Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir, brake master cylinder, power steering, and transmission, and add as needed
- Check all lights and all other electrical items for correct operation
At each oil change
- Change the engine oil filter
- Inspect the exhaust system
- Inspect the brake hoses
- Inspect the suspension components
- Lubricate door hinges and check springs
- Check the engine coolant level, hoses, and clamps
- Check power steering fluid level

2016 Dodge Viper recalls & safety
What the U.S. government's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has on file for the 2016 Dodge Viper: 2 recall campaigns. Fetched November 8, 2026.
NHTSA hasn't published 5-Star Safety Ratings for the 2016 Dodge Viper.
Recalls (2)

Read for lake-effect country
Reading the 2016 Viper data for Great Lakes roads
Lake-effect squalls, roads soaked in brine, potholes that open with every thaw and long Appalachian grades: driving in the Great Lakes states asks a lot of tires, batteries and undersides. These notes take the 2016 Viper figures above and flag the ones that carry the most weight in West Virginia.
Pothole season and the factory tire sizes
Smallest factory tire: P295/30R18. Freeze-thaw cycles break up asphalt across the Great Lakes states, and one jolt can knock the alignment out without leaving a mark on the wheel. If the steering wheel sits off-center or the Viper wanders after a pothole, get the alignment checked before the tire edges wear. A winter set on 18-inch wheels also keeps salt off the originals.
Oil for a frozen-driveway start
The 2016 Dodge Viper fluids table lists SAE 0W-40, with 11 qt per change. Lake-effect winters are full of short, cold trips: to work, to school, to the store and home again before the engine reaches temperature. That pattern is tough on oil, so let the oil-change indicator set the interval and never stretch it.
Cranking power for a lake-effect morning
Rated battery output: 600 cold-cranking amps, measured at 0°F. A single-digit night in Traverse City or Fort Wayne cuts what the battery can deliver just as the stiff engine asks more of the starter. Past three winters, an October load test tells you more than the date sticker. Charging comes from a 180-amp alternator.
Traction for snowbelt hills and hollows
This model year was built with rear-wheel drive only. On an icy grade, smooth throttle beats wheelspin, and winter tires do more for a rear-wheel drive vehicle than any other change. When lake-effect snow turns an interstate white in minutes, leave several car lengths more than usual and let the vehicles with driven wheels at both ends sort themselves out ahead of you.
Cold mornings and the tire-pressure light
Air pressure falls about 1 psi with each 10°F drop, so the swing from a gray, mild lake-effect afternoon to a clear, frigid morning can trip the warning light overnight. Set pressures cold, to the door-jamb placard. An underinflated tire is also easier to damage in a pothole, because the rim sits closer to the edge it hits. The schedule asks you to check pressures and look for unusual wear or damage.
Brake fluid, long descents and salted lines
The schedule lists brake fluid replacement starting at 24,000 miles. Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point, and a long descent off a Tennessee or West Virginia ridge is exactly where brakes get hot enough for that to matter. In Michigan and Ohio, have the steel brake lines checked for salt corrosion whenever the wheels are off.
Fuel reserve for storm closures
Fuel capacity: 16 gallons. Lake-effect whiteouts can shut stretches of I-94 in Michigan or I-90 through the Ohio Snowbelt for hours, so keep the tank from running low between November and March. If you do end up stranded, a running engine for heat needs a tailpipe clear of snow.
Each spec in these notes is pulled from the tables above. The commentary on salt, snow, potholes and grades is general guidance for the Great Lakes states; the owner's manual remains the authority.
