Shimano reels maintenance ports?
Submitted by scano on Fri, 2011-09-16 22:40
Hi everyone,
Just checking what everyones opinion is on maintenance procedures relating the the new Shimano reels maintenance ports?
Basically there is are a small screw in the side plate of the reel that can be removed and specific Shinano oil is added. (that's what they recommend in the manual anyway)
my question is when adding this oil
How much oil do you normally add?
How often would you add oil to you reels internals using this method?
and when adding or checking the oil level does the reel have to be placed on a certain side to prevent oil loss? or held upright or what?
The type of reels I am referring to are Stella's and stradics ect. (newer models)

I just put in a couple of drops every now and then after the reels had a good workout such as before or after a big trip fishing up north.
