Chasis Lube

I just did my first oil change, and I can confirm that Ah-nold did put the oil filter on with a cheater bar as mentioned in another thread.

Are there 3 lube points on a 2006 4x4? I got the outer tie rod end on each side, but I just couldn't find the front driveshaft fitting.

Does anyone have an actual picture? The diagram on the radiator support was too vague for this moron.

Also, after putting 3 gallons of Rotella in the truck (including about a quart in the filter), I ran the truck for about a minute to check for leaks. I installed a Fumoto valve, and it will definitely make the next change easier. Anyway, after waiting 10 minutes, the world's longest dipstick showed that I was a quart low. Does it take longer for all the oil to drain down?
