Bushings should be oiled - generally one drop of ReelX, CorrosionsX, tsi 301 or 321, or something similar.
Ball bearings can be greased [100% full] if salt water intrusion protection is the most important issue, as in trolling where freespool is not an issue. If you want good freespool, remove the shields, clean all old lube out, and lube the same as a bushing.
For more info on lubrication, look in the "Tools" board.
