I grew up using 3 in 1 oil on everything and still fish dad's reels all the time, never had any problems at all. I am using Rem Oil and Reel Butter on my Lews reels here weekly.
One time at the world shoot I was visiting the Perazzi booth and watching their smiths work on their shotguns, I asked one what lube he was using on his brush as these were 5 figure price shotguns his comment as he showed me the container, Valvoline 50 wt oil he said that was what they use at the factory!

I'm just going to use Rem Oil.. I got a thing of Rem yesterday for my Concept, and I just figured I'll put it in my Lews as well. I saw that Reel Butter but I read a lot of bad reviews on that stuff.

Anything with Teflon in it (like Remoil) will eventually gum up. Its great on external non moving parts but not for internal moving parts unless you clean and lube at least every 6 months. I've had that stuff cause misfires in rifles and pistols.

My reels are used several times a week usually all year long all weather, they are cleaned 1-2 times a year and lubed monthly, never any problems.

Who cares. Just oil it. Most people don't even oil their reels.

Cleaning your reels once every 6 months will ensure they last a long time. Especially if they're quality reels

Not negative at all actually. I think some oil is better than nothing. I use the Shimano oil that comes in the box on all of my Curados.
