lube

Hi All... My trunk is getting harder and harder to open. The latch works fine but its like my trunk is Honey Boo Boo's mom...just keeps getting heavier. Does anyone know of any lube points or if I need to disassemble any thing to get to the arms? I feel they need some lubrication badly...

I just received a card from the place where I bought my Equus from. The card is a "reminder for my recommended 3000 mile service". They also offer a "$24.95 Oil and Filter Change." Is this card a mistake? I was under the impression that the first oil change came at 7500 miles (and is free)...
