No more than 2 pumps per fitting with grease. For daily driven cars, once a year is often enough.

grease fitting
I was changing oil and adjusting rear toe in on the rears on a 2011 GS.
To my surprise I found two greasing fittings on the toe-in arms.
Are there any more than two grease fitting that need to be serviced?
thx

All C6's, all years and all models that had the Z51 or Z16 option including Z06, GS, ZR1. Only the base suspension cars did not have them.
Not sure about F55/MSRC equipped cars

Starting with MY2007, the F55/MSRC optioned cars got the same size brakes and rotors as Z51 including the grease zerks. I have an 07 F55 vert.

Thanks for the answer. I have bought the shop manuals. I was going to head out to the garage and research this in the shop manuals. Saved me actually having to read. Ha Ha Ha

Grease Fittings
I'm able to reach the fittings on our GS by reaching through the spokes in the wheels. If your arms are long enough, you can reach around the tires and grease them that way. You can run the back wheels up on a ramp and crawl under the rear of the car and reach them that way.
