Hi,

welcome to this forum and congratulations to your new car. Normally the Caprice is very reliable, but also needs as any other car, too.
If you keep all the fluids up, and change them frequently, this shall be a long lasting love.

I'm not used to "newer" cars, but take a look at the grease nipples for the steering linkage and the ball joints of the front suspension, maybe newer cars don't have them any more.

Our 1990 Astro has them.

Change every oil: motor, trans, rear axle. Maybe coolant, too. Grease the front wheel bearings.

here's the lubrication plan:
