Does this sound right

Went to the dealer the other day got an oil change and oil filter change usually first one so not even 5k on the baby. But as i was reading around the forum people are saying lube this lube that blah blah. So i brought my baby back to the retards saying you have to lube the rear drive shaft. Now im no mechanic i just read peoples threads and when i read 20 people saying lube i say ok to myself and wonder why i haven't gotten my fj lubed. So they say there are no lube points on the fj. And i protest and say there is a lube point on the rear drive shaft hence the propeller shaft. So they lube it but noughting else does this sound right?? They put it on a lift and i went back there i could not find any other lube points are there if so please tell me or better yet go out to youre fj and take a picture and put a detailed sentence of were i can find it. Sorry for the long thread but im not good at compacting things.

Re: Does this sound right

thats what i was thinking too please people need pics of were to lube so i can bring to dealer and tell them were, or find a new dealer but i would hate to do that considering this dealer lets me do whatever to my fj and the cover everything that goes wrong even if its my fault.

Re: Does this sound right

Should this be done every 5k miles?

X2, nissanaltimacrazyhorse, here's everything you need to show the dealer and you can thank member 1911 for the info. But I did do the search for you... What is your favorite grease?
