Nine Miler Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Grease and Oil are Lubes. A grease is really just oil with a detergent (soap) added to help it stay in place. It is much thicker than oil. Here is all the info you need about grease... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grease_(lubricant) An oil is just grease without the soap. Here is a bunch of reading about lubes- this link directs to synthetic lubes as they are the most relevant for this application. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lubricants#Synthetic_oils Quote
NBR Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Grease the gearing, oil the bearings. Less is always better. Not more than 2 drops on the bearings after cleaning them. I like yellow rocket fuel on the bearings. Any reel grease suits me. Quote
SuthernHaze Posted March 25, 2010 Author Posted March 25, 2010 see this is where i am confused... abu garcia makes a oil and lube, but not grease. Yet they show you where to grease the reel for maintenance Quote
