I had my frist oil change done on my SRT-10 at 900 miles as it was gobbling up oil. When should I go back for the next oil change, I was guessing about 3900 miles??? Also when is the first major service due on the car as in they do way more than just the oil change? Thanks.

I think that there is an outside chance the owner's manual addresses these issues. You never know, so have a look.

"Gobbling" oil needs to be a bit more specific. Did you use 1 QT in 900 miles?
2-3QT is a gobbler, .5 is a sipper, anything more than 1.5 would have me a bit concerned IF-IF-IF you were being a good boy like the owners manual requests.
MONITER CLOSELY. KEEP A LOG SHEET Til the consumption normalizes. Dodge warrantee will use this to help determine if there is a problem.

Owners manual aside, Viper Owners usually change oil far more frequently than the manual suggests. I seldom go 3000 miles, usually 2500, and no more than 3 track days on engine oil, regardless of miles.

Rule Of Thumb: 1 Roadcourse Track Day = 1000 miles of oil wear.
