Oil or grease the spool shaft on Daiwa Fuego spinning reels?

[wasabi_VA]

I have 3 Daiwa Fuego LT spinning reels - 2 are 2500 series, one is the 1000 series. I've been very satisfied with them although after 2 years of moderately heavy use the 1000 reel is feeling a little less smooth like it needs oil. I'm curious if the spool shaft should receive grease or oil where it enters the reel body, or perhaps even nothing at all?

I put a very light coating of grease using an artist paintbrush

Either is ok. Start with the spool all the way forward, put a drop of oil at the shaft base to seep in, then a film of grease as suggested already you get the best of both worlds. In a deep cleaning I grease the shafts entire length.

isn’t there a concern about mixing lubricants? Not knocking your suggestion, just trying to learn and do a better job maintaining my reels.

It’s WAY overblown. Some greases don’t play well together but even then it’s not  catastrophic between commonly available products.
