: Another question from the mechanically challenged. . .

I'm going to change my oil today (big deal for me the mechanically challenged). In looking through the Haynes manual and a quick review of the archives, I can't find anything about lubricating anything else. As a doing oil changes, I had to get the grease gun out and hit all the zerks.

Are there no zerks on these cars?

TIA

What? Drain it( remove plug, and cap), and take the old filter off. Replace with Gen Nissan is best, lubricate the rubber gasket, on the oil filter, (with oil) I just tightne it with my hand. Let drain thoroughly. If you think you have less in the pan than you put in, you do the filter holds a lot of oil. replace plug, fill appropriately, replace, cap and drive. Not much to it

If it squeaks, lube it. If it don't ... lube it anyway.

Works for me.

There aren't any on a stock B13 that I was aware of. Many replacement parts will have them though. Moog's replacement ball joints and steering rod ends are some examples.
