Drag replacement...what do you use? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I need to replace the drag system in a Daiwa Sealine 30. I've never done this before but I'm eager to learn how to service my own reels...plus it looks like Alan Tani's website makes 'do it yourself' a no-brainer...we'll see.
Who's washers and what grease are you using?
It seems the Smooth Drag carbontex washers are the ones to go with from what I've been reading?
Do some really use automotive gear oil in their reels?

Thanks!
