Most vehicles today do not have any grease fittings from the factory. A quick skim of the MA section of the factory service manual does not reveal any greasing points except for the typical locks, hinges, and hood latch which applies to all vehicles. Aftermarket suspension components usually have grease fittings.

The Rogue has sealed bearings, no grease fittings, but some diehards add the fittings themselves so they can be greased. But your Rogue will not have any fittings from the factory, oil changes are very simple and super easy on the Rogue, go for it!

You can't add grease fittings to the Rogue, period.

Grease fittings are no longer found on most modern vehicles. Suspension design has advanced to the point that grease is no longer needed or required.

All that is required is periodic lube of the hinges (including hood and rear hatch), door locks and door stays. DO NOT lube the black and chrome looking struts that hold the hear hatch up! As for lube, I prefer white lithium grease in a spray can.

What if "someone" already applied lithium grease over those black and chrome looking struts that hold the rear hatch up?

But I swear I saw the picture of the struts on the package of the lithium grease that I bought for the hinges! It says they can be used on hinges, locks and struts!

This is the grease that I used: http://www.permatex.com/products/motorc ... Grease.htm

It says: "Suggested Applications: Door hinges, hood latches, trunk latches, hatchback struts, seat tracks, garage door and delivery truck door tracks"
