    Is the drive shaft coming greased from factory? The common sense tells me yes, but still have doubts.

    It's part of routine maintenance; I normally hit my zerks every other oil filter change which translates to about once a year.

    It's up to you but I wouldn't change the oil once a year or 10k miles, that's too much, bit as I said up to u

    I change the filter every other oil change and change at 5000 or less depending on use.

    you will find a ton of threads on oil change intervals. I go with 10k because I am 99% highway (literally). All depends on driving. Get a blackstone analysis if you have questions.

    To your original question, yes it does :)
