this is extremely common on cars these days. Grease fittings are becoming rather rare, to my knowledge, as a matter of fact. I believe my mom's '98 Trooper has them, but none of my last 6 or 7 cars built in the 90s and later have had any.

2005 Nissan 350 Z Brake Pad Issue by grzygrl
Sep 06, 2005 (4:57 pm)

Has anyone else had problems with their brake pads having to be replaced after 4000 miles? I have had my car for 10 months, very low miles...brake pads in front already needed replacement. I drive 140 miles a month....and I don't drive in traffic. They tell me the back needs replacement in about a month or two...they are down to 50%. This is ridiculous. I have been driving sports cars for the last 20 years, have never had this problem before. Any suggestions?

350Z Lady--
 
DO NOT USE ARMOR ALL.. I have a 2003 350Z and was told that the oils attract dust and over time it will crack your dashboard. The auto guys reccomend I use warm water and a towel to wipe it down.
 
I used Armor All wipes once or twice. I liked the gloss but it was oily everywhere..

crack an all-plastic dash? I don't buy it. Dashboards that have actual material of some sort covering them, ok, but not solid plastic.

yes.. good point. Do any of you find it difficult to keep the inside of your driver side and passenger side doors clean? I have Black interior and it gets Blotchy when I wipe it down.. Any feedback?

definitely had trouble in mine. My wife actually used those armorall wipes on them when i wasn't looking. Ugh. Made them look horrible. BUT, then I wiped it all down again with a clean dry soft rag and it was ok.
