Matt,
Do I need to oil the Z bushings, and, if so, how often?
How often should I grease the gears?
Thanks in advance,
Mark
P.S. I hope you are having a nice holiday season.

Re: Concept Z lubrication
The Z Bearings will break themselves in and after that they should require very little lubrication. I use INOX lubrication on mine occasionally, typically only after I clean my reel. I find that when you clean off the bearings you temporarily remove the "self lubricating" properties...so the lube helps it to perform.mark poulson wrote:Matt,

Gears should be kept lubricated as they are Aluminum. If your fishing in saltwater, this is more important....but in freshwater i recommend cleaning your reel fully around twice a year.
