Unfortunately, that’s only provided to authorized dealers. Not sure why parts numbers need to be kept hidden from the cyclist.
Oil your chain after every few rides is going to be your biggest maintence you need to worry about. Everything else is a wear item and is replaced as needed...bearings, brake pads, worn out chainring/cassette teeth etc. You're bike will let you know when these things need to be replaced/repaired...making funny noises or not operating smoothly.
Again...this isn't rocket science folks.
