James -
Depends on if you car has an original pump on it (not
very likely) or if its a replacement with sealed
bearings. If it is a replacement, I wouldn't worry
about it. If it's been working for many years now,
it'll probably last a few more. The new pumps don't
need grease, not for at least 20 years now.
