Default Greasing locations on a C5?

Does anyone know where the grease zirt locations are on a C5. I have always done lubricaton, oil and filter myself on previous cars. I'm asking because I have not had the car up myself yet. Are there any locations that would not be intuitively obvious?

I believe that all the fittings are sealed (upper/lower ball joints,etc.). No need to lube for a long time!

There are no "ZERK" fittings on a C5. The only grease you really need is some silicone grease to put on all the weather stripping, occasionally. :D
