Maintenance Schedules

Maintenance Schedules
I own a 2006 Vantage V8, manual transmission.
Does anyone have a factory type Aston Martin Service Schedule that shows dates / miles for the various preventative maintenance services they can share?
I'm coming up on 1 year since the car was last serviced (under by the prior owner) and would like to stick with the Factory schedule.
Thanks .....

No factory schedule, but I suspect that ones like this: https://www.astonmartinhouston.com/s...ance-schedule/ are available online.
I grew up working on BMWs and follow the "old school" maintenance philosophy. Oil every 5K or year, air filters ever 12K, brake/clutch fluid, PS, coolant every two years. tranny, diff. fluids every 2 years/40K miles (so every two years).
Probably the most important after the oil is the brake fluid. It really sucks to have to form new lines / replace or rebuild calipers. Fluids are cheap, parts are not!

Redpants has a pretty decent write up on maintenance, it's probably the closest thing I've seen to the dealer check list sheet I was shown at Orlando when I had my first service there. If I'm out there, I can ask for a copy of that.

I'm going to blow this forum wide open by stating the 50 years of general auto maintenance experience tells me that AM maintenance intervals are designed to enrich the dealerships while having little effect on the cars' operating condition. All things within reason. I would reason that anyone that visits the dealer regularly has a car that is more fukked up than someone who avoids the dealer. Every time I have had a dealer experience I leave with 3x more **** wrong than when I brought it in. Hell, I can do that a lot cheaper myself! If you follow the factory schedule you have more time and money than what's good for you........
