Lubricate propeller shaft????

anyone know what a propeller shaft is on a 2002 Maxima? The owner's manual states to lubricate the propeller shaft every 7500 miles.

What is it? I didn't buy a boat, did I?

You don't have a propeller shaft on the Maxima. The footnote indicates Frontier, Pathfinder, or Xterra.

He he, it is rare that someone would call the driveshaft "propeller shaft". RWD vehicles have driveshafts that need occasional lubrication. There are several zerk fittings that you need to grease. Of course, none of that is applicable to the Maxima. How do I know this? I just did the 30k maintenance on our 2001 Trooper 4x4.
