Ive tried to search but found nothing on this subject.
I will be changing my oil today and was curious if there are any grease fittings anywhere i should lube up while im under there?

Good question, I'll be listening as well, but I suspect you will find none. They seem to have gone by the wayside for anything but industrial level equipment!
I use to go buy Borg Warner replacement parts for my past cars cause they were one of the last manufacturers to still offer parts with zerk fittings. (I dislike "sealed for life" components.) But even those were getting hard to find.

As far as I know, there isn't anything you will have to grease up.
The CV axles on our car are even sealed and non-serviceable.

interesting.. it's good in a sense I guess because if you need to grease the CV joint, it would be because the boot was torn, and the joint would already be contaminated anyway... replace is better than fix :D if you have the cash that is...

I would think that there are no zerk fittings on any newer audi's. My 1st car before my audi was a 89 325i Bimmer and that didn't even have any zerk fittings, all sealed fittings. My s-10 pickup has them but I figured it was because it was a "cheaper" car.
I would say if you want to grease anything make sure any rubber mounts for sway bars are greased and good.
