[QUOTE="Ray Clark, post: 499662, member: 31103"] I used Penn Precision Reel Oil to lube the bearing itself. Now, I don't know whether that was the correct thing to do or not, but it seemed to me that the Penn Precision Reel Grease was just too thick to penetrate the bearing very well. I've never really taken a reel apart as I have this one, but I use 3-in-1 light machine oil in my router bearings out in the woodshop. Those bearings spin at upwards of 12000 rpm, so I'm confident the Penn oil is good for my Mitchell reel bearing. [/QUOTE]
