Driveshaft lubrication on ISF
My F is up to 10k miles service soon , just wondering how often do we lubricate the driveshaft on our F? Does the dealership do that including 10k miles service or telling them to do that?
Thank you guys !

Nothing modern has zerk fittings anymore. The field found out all that was happening was dirty grease got injected into the clean grease and shortened service life dramatically, so they stopped putting zerks on ball joints (and everything else). Now it gets greased at the factory and replaced when it wears out, usually at a much longer interval than if the kid at Jiffy Lube greased them every so often.
There is a center bearing in the driveshaft. It is a permanently lubricated bearing like the vast majority of sealed cassette bearings.

Today i called the Lexus dealer to get my F service done at 10k miles and asked about lubricating the driveshaft for the F and the phone guy said "yes" my car need to, b/c the dealer lubed my Gx470 driveshaft every 10k miles( i do not know this is right or wrong) and i know the F and the Gx470 is different so to clear my mind i was up here to ask you guys and now i know i"m gonna tell them don"t do this on my car.

It's necessary on the GX on both driveshafts. Strangely enough, there are zerks installed on both of them. There is nothing like this on the IS-F.
