There isn't an exact schedule for how often to grease the Lock N Roll Articulating Hitch # 336VS503 through it's low profile grease fitting but maybe twice a year under normal use. It really just depends on how often you are towing and the conditions that you are towing in like winter weather, saltwater etc.

The LMX grease like the part # L11390 is the toughest and most waterproof so that is what I would recommend.
