Question 15000 Miles on 2008 Mustang GT

The car is there for now 2 months, and jumped from 12k to 15kMiles= it's time for maintenance.

The manual says: some controls (visual), oil/filter change and lubrication of moving parts ( steering, suspension)

As most of the cars today have lifetime lubrication, what excactly is to be done ?

Thanks for the help

Francois

There are no grease fittings on the suspension.

Thanks guys.

So it's mainly about oil & filter change, isn't it ?

The pollen filter also, but looks strange to me it has to be done so early (on over cars it's way later), does it worth it ?

If you want to keep that new car smell, change the cabin filter as suggested. Fuel filter is also recommended at 15,000 in the manual.
