Greasing???

This may be a stupid question, but is there anywhere under the rx8 that needs to be greased at regular intervals?

I do my own oil changes and just wonder if I should have been greasing areas in these intervals?

I ask because I know newer cars grease themselves...I have a 05 shinka.

thanks guys

There aren't any zerk fittings.

But you're supposed to grease hinges and stuff regularly.

hinges are probably a good idea.

Also, if you have a sunroof, use some white lithium grease in there from time to time
