After 1100 miles, I changed the oil and filter on my 2007 Nissan Frontier with the V-6.  Filter was tight but came off with a tight fitting oil filter "socket" cap and a breaker bar.  New filter (Nissan) went on well and I used a new copper crush gasket on the oil pan bolt.   All went well; I used Mobil 1 5W-30, an oil I have used for years in all my vehicles.  Nissan has a little chute under the filter that directs the oil right down into my waste oil container.  A very nice touch, I thought.

Question:  Are there any grease fittings on these trucks?  Looked to me like everything is a sealed fitting and I could not find anything in the owner's manual.  Can anyone comment on this please?  I amused to my old Chevy truck with 14 fiitngs.

Smitty, my wife's Saturn is all sealed and requires no grease.  It is just shy of 50,000 miles and is a 2003 model.  However, my 97 Chevy truck was filled with greasable joints.  Just wondered if there were any under the Frontier I was missing.  I've looked and have not found any at all.

Thanks for the reply!
