is there need to lube anything?

The maintenance scheduled by the manufacturer that would be shown in the MID are oil and filter change, tire rotation, etc. There are all done. As I remember when I sent a Jetta to a car garage for oil change, the bill included several additional services including "lube chassis". I wonder if anything in the car need lubrication from time to time. I am not sure what does lubing chassis mean, but there might be some gears, differentials that fancy lubes. If so does this KryTech Lubricant work and last? The link is http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0051VD6XG/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A28AXWYG4N5R27

please let me know where do you usually lube.

Hmm. I'm not sure. U should call your local Honda dealer's service department and ask. My dealership is more helpful when I have questions like that. I will ask them this question when I go in for service tomorrow.

I lubricate some of the rubber pieces on my car, like the door seals and moon roof seal. Michigan has rough winters and somewhat hot summers, so I think it helps protect them from drying out and lasts longer.

after some research, I learned that suspensions and steering joints, door hinges, hood latches and door seals can be lubed. but most cars have sealed-for-life lubed ball joints, tie rod ends and U-joints, and they are designed to last for about ten years. unless one drills and taps a hole into the sealed parts and create grease fittings, it is impossible to lube them. but doing this requires much more engagement than an oil change, especially for ppl who have not worked on ball joints before.
