I took someone's advice (Kevin Packard?) and printed out one of these lube charts, circled the items I wanted them to check, and took it to one of those 10-minute oil change places, and they were happy to lube all those spots, and check the differential fluid level. They have standard diff lube in-stock to top it off if necesssary. That was easy and inexpensive (<$40) and the technicians got a kick out of it, and it provides peace of mind. Probably best when they aren't exceptionally busy. Since they are standing up down below the car, it's easy for them. If you bring them the filter and the oil, they will change your oil too, subtract the cost of the filter and the oil from the normal charge. That gets rid of the pain which is oil disposal and is also inexpensive. Heck, have them change the diff lube if it's really ugly.
