How often to get fittings lubed?

[afrasay]

30 bucks per fitting!!!!

mura na yung nabanggit ni sir Rediesel na 7 per fitting...dapat nasa 15-20 lang per fitting...

sa marikina P50 per (shell). ang mahal pala sa amin. baka may kasamang teflon yon ah.

12 per fitting na lang sa Shell Retiro? Dati 14 ha. Buti pala hindi ako natuloy dati. hehehe.

Hindi basta basta maalis ng underwash ang grease. Most of them are inside the components or are protected by rubber boots/grommets. Yung grease gun nga nahihirapan i-force out yung old grease, eh.

marwen,
The gas station will know these fittings. Techinically they are called zerk fittings or grease nipples. Alam din ng gas station iyon. Almost all truck-based vehicles have fittings that can be lubed.

More than ten fittings ang naaalala ko. Hindi ko kasi makita yung listahan, eh. Meron sa front and rear drive shafts (both ends of both driveshafts pa ata). Sa pitman arm, sa ball joints and kung saan saan pa. Usually concentrated sa front suspension.

sa honda civic ba (model 97) me mga fittings ba that must be lubed?

may fittings ba ang kia carnival/sedona??

Always check that they are changing the grease in all the fittings. There are some fittings that are hard to reach and they might just say that they did them when you're not looking. Alam mo naman ang ibang mekaniko pag di mo kilala...minsan tinatamad.

An alternative is to buy your own grease gun (about P400) with flexible rubber tip and specific grease cartridge. Gives you the option to buy special grease, eg, grease with moly, synthetic grease rather than the regular gas station grease. You can grease up whenever you feel like it!
