Just bought a V8VS and need to ALL service. Advice for Parts please.
Hi All, I've just bought a V8VS (4.7 SS2) which is in extremely clean condition and low mileage.
The only downside: No service history from 2018 onwards. It's a mystery if anything was done.
So..... I have to assume nothing was done.
I'm trying to put together a list of service things I'll need to do to "start fresh" along with part numbers, and I'd really appreciate it if anyone could chime in with things I'm missing:
So far:
1. Oil Change and filter with O rings (part numbers needed)
2. Coolant Flush (parts needed?)
3. Brake flush (parts needed?)
4. Transaxle Fluid (parts needed?)
5. Plugs and Coils (6G43-07-10056-PK or NGK Iridium?) / (9G33-12A366-AA or 6G33-12A366-CA coils or alternative?)
6. Air and cabin filters (Confused on part numbers for these)
Anything else?

Not sure why you need to do plugs and coils if low miles. I just bought a 2016 V12S and even though the scheduled maintenance indicates going much longer than my 25K miles, I know many V12 owners that have had plug-coil issues at about the mileage I have and for that reason I'll do the plugs and coils on my next Aston service. I don't know any 4.3 or 4.7 owners that have had plug-coil issues with lower miles, or even higher miles. I did learn of a 24K mile 2019 Vantage that needed a change just last week.
Look also at door, bonnet and trunk struts - do they stay open?
Battery - if older I'd replace it.
Adjust the fuel door (even if it works)
Check the bonnet cabling and operation
I replaced the transaxle feed lines on my 2011 V8 Vantage and will do the same on my V12S with VelocityAP lines.
Aston brakes have a terrible dust problem - replace with Porterfield
Check parking brake tension, I just replaced my rear discs because the tension was wrong.
