I just got me a newer truck, and I'm thinking I want to do the oil changes myself. I now have a 2000 S-10 ZR2, meaning I have skid plates. I know where the oil filter is, and don't think that'll be a problem for R&R. How is the pan drain? I didn't crawl underneath it yet, at least enough to see the oil pan drain.
Grease fittings, are these the same as on my 94 Jimmy? 1 for each ball joint (4), 1 at each joint in the steering, with an extra on the idler arm (count 5 here), and I know there should be 2 more, or are there 7 on the steering system? I know there are 11. Do you all just use spray white lithium grease for lubing door hinges, hood latch, door latches, etc?
