Grease fitting locations
Can someone let me know how many and where are all the grease fittings on an 02. Just want to make sure I don't miss any when I do the lube.
Thanks :flag

There are 0 grease fittings on a C5...which makes them very tough to find. :D

the "007" grease spraying option (used only when the bad guys or cops are chasing you) could be installed in the rear of the car with minimal effort. ;)

Which also means if you get your oil changed anywhere and they try to charge you for lubing your car, you can SMOKE EM! :smash: :smash: :smash:
Had the freakin' CHEVY dealer try to do this to me! Tried to charge me an extra $15 for "lube service." :mad :mad :mad

Hey, George...
What WAS the last car ya lubed? :lol:
Unfortunately, all wear points sometimes are not as well "sealed & permanently lubed" as manufacturers might like us to believe. Chrysler, for example, has recently had a rash of suspension failures for this very reason, or so it seems.
Personally, I've always liked lubing my own... All the best. :yesnod:

Re: Grease fitting locations (georgehafe)
There are not grease fittings on most cars anymore so that the parts will wear out faster and need replacement. Job security.
