Favorite Grease, and oil.

[MattinOK]

What is your favorite oil and grease (not drag grease) for reel cleaning. I'm wanting to start mini-lubing my reels. I know shimano oil is probably pretty highly thought of around here. I also know that the TT guys like hot sauce. What's your favorite???

[KYntucky Warmouth]

When I oil a reel, I usually use Ardent Reel Butter

I just use the Zebco branded reel grease and oil.  Does the trick, though there may be something better.

Guess!..

Does that lube void the warranty on Shimano products?

Does that lube void the warranty on Shimano products?

I don't work for Shimano® and am not a warranty service shop for them.

My oils won't I know that for a fact.

The HS from Quantum® I have heard could but not sure.

The rest I would doubt they affect it.

Best to run that question by the horse' mouth..

Tight Lines!!!!

Thanks, I like the price of that oil and lube and would like to give it a shot.

For oil, I also like the Ardent Reel Butter. The Penn synthetic oil is also good.

For grease, I like Dupont Teflon White Lithium grease in the aerosol can... great stuff!

Spool bearings and level wind - Yellow Rocket Fuel or Ardent bearing oil.  Non spool bearings - slightly heavier Ardent Reel Butter oil.  Gears and other non-bearing parts - Superlube PTFE grease.  Shimano Ace-2 Drag Grease for internal drag components.

Hot Sauce Oil & Grease & Cal's Drag Grease for the drag washers.
