15,000 miles service

[vprdude]

15K service is due soon & I don't have the service manual. Can you tell me what needs to be done?

Depends what has already been done.

IIRC I tend to do oil and filter + chassis lube and visual checks every year. and all fluids, plugs and check/clean air filter every other year.

Have not bothered with the PCV as the one in there was better than the new one, but best to check it anyway.

changed out the stock rad hoses for silicone this year after 4+ years and also need to do the fan belt and plug wires but the ones i got at napa in FL only had 6 leads and there wasn't time to get a new set before we went home.

15K service out of the manual is:

change engine oil and filter
lube front and rear suspension ball joints and tie rods
inspect /replace air filter if required

The problem with the service manual though is many of the items, coolant and break fluid spring to mind, really need to be changed on a max time interval also, and vipers rarely reach the mileage's the service manual states in the time frame these need changing.
