I use Cal's Grease on the drag washers.
-You only need a little, wipe off any excess with your finger. The Sealine X has a well sealed drag system, and rarely (if ever) does it ever see water intrusion.

On the Sealine X its good practice to pack the handle bearing (inside and outside) with Cal's grease, and the threads on the handle shaft.

Use Reel X on the Spool Bearings - You want them to spin free and smoothly.
----------------------------
One more thing...

These reels have metal shields of their bearings. If a bearing feels a little rough try soaking it in kerosene, then blowing it out with compressed air. If it spins well after that lube it with Reel X and reassemble.

If the bearing is toast, buy a new 3 piece set from Smooth Drag. They have very good quality replacement bearings at a fair price.
Squidco and Charkbait carries everything you need.
