Are there any lubrication points on a 2002 PT Cruiser? I change my own oil and filter every 2500 miles but haven't greased anything yet. I did take the vehicle back to the dealer at 10,000 miles and had them rotate the tires. At that time I told the service writer that I would like it lubed too...he said most newer Chryslers are "sealed" and there is nothing to lube. Is this true?

According to PT DIY the front end does not need to be lubed, but they do recommend the following:
Body Lubrication - Lubrication Requirements Body mechanisms and linkages should be inspected, cleaned, and lubricated, as required, to maintain ease of operation and to provide protection against rust and wear. When performing other under hood services, the hood latch release mechanism and safety catch should be inspected, cleaned, and lubricated. During the winter season, external door lock cylinders should be lubricated to assure proper operation when exposed to water and ice. Prior to the application of any lubricant, the parts concerned should be wiped clean to remove dust and grit. If necessary, a suitable solvent can be used to clean the item to be lubricated. After lubricating a component, any excess oil or grease should be removed. Lubricant Application Door Lock Cylinders 1. Apply a small amount of lubricant directly into the lock cylinder. 2. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the key. 3. Insert the key into the lock cylinder and cycle the mechanism from the locked to the unlocked position. Note - Do not add more lubricant. 4. Cycle the lock cylinder mechanism several times to allow the lubricant to flow throughout the cylinder. 5. Wipe all lubricant from exterior of lock cylinder and key. All Other Body Mechanisms 1. Clean component as described above. 2. Apply specified lubricant to all pivoting and sliding contact areas of component. Lubricant Usage Engine Oil Door Hinges Hinge Pin and Pivot Contact Areas Hood Hinges Pivot Points Liftgate Hinges Mopar Spray White Lube or Equivalent Door Check Straps Liftgate Latches Liftgate Prop Pivots Ash Receiver Fuel Filler Door Remote Control Latch Mechanism Parking Brake Mechanism Sliding Seat Tracks Liftgate Latch Mopar Multipurpose Grease or Equivalent All Other Hood Mechanisms Mopar Lock Cylinder Lubricant or Equivalent Door Lock Cylinders Liftgate Lock Cylinder I also ensure that the bushing on my sway bars are lubricated.
