They do. Dillon had enough people contact them about galling, that they added a few grease fittings to the design. If you have the problem and complain enough, they'll even send you the new frame with grease fittings, to replace your older version.
But, like you... I'm happy with what I've got. It's not difficult keep lubed.

I thought that I had read where they were shipping new 550b's with grease fittings, but did not want to trust my memory.
As I mentioned, I added grease fittings to mine. It was fairly simple, just disasembled the press and used the existing oil holes to start the correct tap-drill for the grease fittings, taped them and screwed in the fittings. I did not like the idea of oil in the bearing surfaces, prefer grease for such duty instead.
