My rear right suspension is squeaking. i've lubricated it with oil a few times and it always comes back. Do i need to use a high quality grease and if so how do i apply it - can't find a fitting....

This will proberbly be a worn suspension bush, these Jobs really need to be checked by a qualified mechanic, oiling will not do any good at all, any worn component will need to be replaced.

take pic of where you oil. motorcycle chain lube in a spray lasts longer than just oil.

The oil will in fact ruin all the good parts. Oil and rubber don't play well together. Always use silicone on anything rubber but I agree with mhpautos though. Lubrication isn't going to fix anything. Find the offending part and replace it.
