Fuel filter water check
Is 15 quarts of oil correct? Thats what I have found through research.
What should I look for in an oil filter? An specific brand to avoid?
Grease any fitting I can find.
Check fluids
Check all air pressure

since it may be an early 99, put 14 quarts in it and check it after you start it. Some early motors are only 14 quarts.....
Check the brakes and rotat the tires if you dont know about maintanence prior to you getting it. Tire rotation is critical to tire life, it should be done every 5k...give you a chance to keep an eye on your brakes as well....
DONT use a Fram oil filter......Wix is a great aftermarket and if your going to use an aftermarket filter, Napa gold and carquest's upper end filter are both made by WIX.......along with the fact that most places carry the Wix line of filters........
the only greasable fittings from the factory will be the four on the steering linkages...but check the u joints and ball joints, if they have ever been replaced they may have zirks....
make sure to check the air filter as well....but you sound like you have it prety much covered!!!....Marc
