Default Lube points

When you guys change your oil, do you lube your chassis lubrication points yourself???

I changed the oil in my car for the first time back in Oct and my dad asked me this same question when I was done and I hadn't even thought of it. I don't have an owners manual, so I couldn't do it even if I wanted to. Not to mention, I have no idea of what it entails, even though I'm sure it's quite simple.

Lubing the chassis is a thing of the past! There are next to no modern cars which use this. The exception is a few trucks!

The sealed joints work very well and as good as the old style with lube points.
