i'm not sure about the ratio but just grease the CF washers and degrease the spool bearings and lube with TSI 321 or a very light oil to greatly improve spool time. if you want to change to ceramic hybrid bearings, check boca bearings. but i highly recommend to 1st clean all your bearings. pack the non spool bearings with marine grease and lube the spool bearings with your preferred oil. tight lines!
