For what it's worth, I had a Shimano Baitrunner 8000OC recently that was very noisy, after pulling my hair out for a day or two trying everything short of replacing the AR clutch I gave in and applied a very light coat of grease; result was a silent and very smooth clutch, and no slipping when I put more torque on the rotor than the reel is ever likely to see in a fishing situation.

Hi Reelguts :)

Thanks for the info. I really appreciate it.

We've experimented for years and now we use Lucas reel oil on all AR bearings. From my 34 years of being in the reel business light grease may seem to work but eventually damages the AR.

Ive been using corrosionX on mine for a few years now with no problems.
