greasing ?

Chilton suggest to get a greasing gun for some lube jobs.
Whatsoever, they do not show where to grease.
As the search option does not work on the page in the moment :
could anybody advise me where I have to grease a 4th gen. Max.?

I beleive the Maxima has 100% of it's grease fittings sealed. When I owned my F-150 (97) it was the first year for sealed grease fittings but some of the owners were using small pin needles on their grease guns to puncture the rubber seal and add/extract grease. Personally, I don't think it is worth it.

Yeah I don't know about other gen Maximas, but mine has very few grease points and zero grease fittings ("grease nipples") as far as I can tell.

I wouldn't risk puncturing the seal with a grease injector needle myself.
