So now the question, how to relube and how to determine if replacement is needed?

Given the task of getting to the starter, I will probably just replace it. Not a very expensive part and would rather address it ahead of time then wait until complete failure.

For those who guessed correctly, your detective skills are better than mine for sure - thanks!

I would also suggest replacement if you don't have a lot of time to redo in case of failed remedy.

I think a new Bosch is around $150 or so from my memory.

The price has gone up to $190...
depends on how much you value your time so it's your call. If you decide to get a new one, get this one and pay no attention to "Do not fit your car" warning. Also, do not go with Bosch catalogue either. Both Amazon and Bosch are wrong
