Grease fittings - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Are there any grease fittings on a 2009 Corolla that need to be lubricated as part of the standard lube oil filter?

I'm wondering because I don't see anything mentioned in the manual and am about to start doing oil changes myself. 1.5hr wait with an appointment is just too long of a wait for me for an oil change.

Nothing other than heavy equipment has came from the factory with grease zerks in the last 10 years.
A lot of aftermarket parts have them though.

EDIT: see post 11

Thank you.

I go to Oil Changers to get that stuff done, no appointment required, it's pretty decent. Could be cheaper I suppose but I don't mind since it's so convenient...

I hear ya. I have an attached two door garage so its easy to do. Trading a bit for work to save some dough and know the jobs done right. Bought oil filters from trdsparks shipped for only $5/filter. I wait until oil goes on sale at Canadian Tire or Walmart then stock up. Motomaster Formula 1 synthetic 5w20 for $16+tax when it was on sale at CT a few weeks ago.
