This is the first car I've owned that had fittings that you had to use a grease gun on. I was doing it yesterday and I realized I have no idea how to tell when I've pumped enough grease in. I had been taking the car to the dealer for service due to coupons for oil, filter, grease and tire rotation for $50, but finally decided I should be doing myself like evey other car I've owned. I put 6 or 8 shots in some of the fittings and 10 or 12 in others and tried to judge when the rubber part felt "full". How are you supposed to know how much grease to put in? Thanks for your time.
