Default Lubrication/Grease Points

I was just looking at a Ford Dealer's web site about maintenance and it mentioned lubricating non-sealed lubrication points. I thought newer model cars had sealed joints and such just about every where? Are there lubrication points to be greased via "Zerk" fittings on the GT?

I know I have them on my '89 GMC, but there were none on my '78 BMW.

I am not 100% sure, but I think they completely sealed. I have not been able to find any zerk fittings under my car.

There are no unsealed grease points on the S197 that I am aware of.

Yeah both of the above are correct and the only grease zerts you will find are on the aftermarket suspension components.

No zerks on the S197 according to the workshop manual.
There are other items that need lubrication such as the
door seals and such. But for zerks on suspension parts,
there are none.

True. I grease my BMR LCAs every other oil change.
