Default About 3 in one oil??

This is something I am doing at home, besides you guys have a lot of
great info that is hard to find elsewhere.

Spring is almost here, and that means fishing - at least for me. I
have six spinning reels that I am cleaning and lubing. I use to use
white silicon grease, but it tends to harden up a bit. I was
wondering if a light oil would maybe do the job better.

The only light oil I know is the 3 in one stuff, but I don't know how
it holds up over a year or so. Does it tend to gum up or does it
stay thin?
I try to clean and lube my reels once a year when I put on new line.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Bob-tx


Here is a great resource
