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.

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)

Newest first. A campaign covers certain vehicles of this model year, not necessarily every one. To see which apply to a specific vehicle, and whether the fix has been done, enter its VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls or ask a dealer; repairs are free of charge.

Air bags: frontal: passenger side: inflator moduleOctober 18, 2016 · Campaign 16V750000

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2016 MY Dodge Viper vehicles manufactured January 6, 2016, to January 8, 2016. A defective vibration weld on the passenger airbag chute may cause the passenger air bag door to detach during the air bag deployment.

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.

2016 Dodge Viper questions

How much oil does the 2016 Dodge Viper take?

With a filter change: 11 qt / 10.4 L. Capacities are from the owner's manual; check the dipstick or oil-life display after filling.

What kind of oil does the 2016 Dodge Viper use?

Engine oil: Full synthetic SAE 0W-40.

When is the first scheduled maintenance on the 2016 Dodge Viper?

At 6,000 miles or 0.5 years: 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. Oil changes in between follow the oil-change indicator.

Where can I find the 2016 Dodge Viper owner's manual?

The manufacturer publishes it free on Mopar.com as a PDF (linked in the manuals section above), along with quick guides, radio manuals and the warranty booklet.

What MPG does the 2016 Dodge Viper get?

The EPA rates the 2016 Dodge Viper at 15 MPG combined, depending on the version. 8.4L 10-cylinder, 6-speed manual, RWD: 12 city / 21 highway / 15 combined. Ratings are the EPA's laboratory figures from fueleconomy.gov; real-world mileage varies with driving, load and weather.

What size tires does the 2016 Dodge Viper use?

Factory tire sizes: P295/30ZR18 (All models except ACR, With Sidewinder II wheels (standard on TA Special Edition)); P355/30ZR19 (All models except ACR, With Sidewinder II wheels (standard on TA 2.0 Special Edition)); 295/25R19 (ACR); 355/30R19 (ACR). The recommended cold inflation pressure for your exact tires is on the tire placard (driver's side B-pillar or rear edge of the driver's door), not in a single table.

What changed on the 2016 Dodge Viper?

New trims: SRT, GTC and ACR; Dropped trims: Viper and GT; New option packages: Matte Exterior Finish, Satin Black Exterior Accents Package, Satin Chrome Exterior Accents Package, TA 2.0 Package and 7 more; No longer standard or offered on some trims: Laguna premium leather wrapped with color contrasting stitching (GTS) and Laguna premium leather wrapped with contrasting stitching (GTS).

Does the 2016 Dodge Viper have recalls?

NHTSA lists 2 safety recall campaigns for the 2016 Dodge Viper. The most recent: Air bags: frontal (October 2016) and Air bags: frontal (October 2016). NHTSA's data was last fetched November 8, 2026. Recalls are listed by model year, so a given vehicle may or may not be covered: enter its VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls or ask a dealer to see which are open.

Specifications come from the manufacturer's spec comparison and its media-site specification sheets; maintenance schedules, fluids and publications come from Mopar's owner site and owner's manuals. Equipment and ratings vary by configuration; check the owner's manual or a dealer for a specific vehicle. This model is no longer sold new.
