ptomacbass Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 I put the wrong oil on my zillion's worm gear, so I had to clean the wormgear out and get rid of most of the oil. There is still a tiny bit left. Do you think I could use the reel for a day with an un oiled worm gear? Would It cause any permanent damage to the reel? Quote
Super User bilgerat Posted September 13, 2009 Super User Posted September 13, 2009 In a pinch, ANY oil is better than no oil. I wouldn't run it dry. Quote
ptomacbass Posted September 13, 2009 Author Posted September 13, 2009 I just decided to wait. Since I ran out of oil I need to order some from Daiwa. Quote
Super User .RM. Posted September 14, 2009 Super User Posted September 14, 2009 What was the wrong oil? if it was like a 3n1 it would work temporally, if it was an automotive type then its to heavy. But I wouldn't as stated run it dry, there needs to be at least one drop of reel oil on it... Oil & Grease.. Good Luck & Tight Lines!!! Quote
