Reel Maintanance

[Offshootboy]

Sorry but this is probably a real stupid question but what kind of maintance should I do to my spinning reels?

Should I take it apart and put new grease in there or just oil it or what?

My dad only buys like ten dollar reels, never services them and they last like 20 years....But I like to have nice stuff and I want to take care of it.

Thanks

The old saying is .
"Grease gears...oil bearings."
Be careful taking those reels apart..I simply oil mine.

greasing bearings and oil you just choose wich you like better. they are both used on them.

All my fishing life, I have used Lubriplate. If it is reccomned for the lower gear case on Outboard Motors, it has to be good.Plus I also have Clock needle oilers that I use on other parts.
