My opinion (after 10 trips to Europe in my 4/4) is the intervals for greasing depends on conditions.
Dusty or wet conditions require more frequent attention.
I would always re-grease after a very wet drive.
I also carry a small can of motorcycle chain-lube for the rear springs and a tube of copper-slip for the steering damper blades.
OCD? I don't think so, as Stanley is close to 40,000 miles and still on original (and good condition) kingpins



That's good advice I think.
