Oiling fly reels?

[Uncle Jesse]

I'm interested to see so many people who do oil their reels - I better get to it.

This is obviously a slick group. I have had a pound can of avionic's grease for about 30 years, works great.

Whatever you do (or don't do) do not use WD40!!
It works well on an engine that is hard to start though!!

How about solid lubes like moly sulfide (molybdenum disulfide)?
Do they have problems getting wet?

That is probably the iso-butane used as a propellant. Is that new ride letting you down already. You should have know better they build those things in lower Alabama.
