I servise my abu casting reels 2-3 times a year, and as i dont really sea fish thats more than enough. Apart from the standard rince once you have gotten back from fishing to service simply take the reel apart after taking the right hand end plate off to expose the gears get rid of any greasey build up found anywhere inside while cleaning the individual parts (old tooth brush is best) making sure no dirt or dust is present then give the gears, main drive shaft and pinion a bit of greese and re-assemble, then soak your bearings in zipo lighter fuel for 4-5mins and then place on some kitchen towel to dry (again 4-5mins), then i place 2-3 drops of the chosen oil on top untill its all soaked in and replace back into spool. It really is that simple, hope this helps.
