Oil in reservoir should be sufficient for several services considering it has not been tempered with or sunbaked.

Were abts are you located ?

I have two curado baitcasters that need a service

Cheers bm

Does the magseal oil serve any lubricating purpose or is it purely to stop water ingress? Ie can you live without it?

@Barramick - ill be honest that I'm not 100% on baitcasters yet though i have done a couple, i am located in chadstone area
@sloth - magseal does not serve as lubrication at all, I think they will do more damage than protecting reel parts if it does leak to internal system hence the reason why i refrain from filling them with aftermarket product. Tbh if i could i would put a very thin rubber seal instead for protection, simple and easily maintained.

Did you just put the felt drag washers back in or replace with carbontex

For certate i have added 2 extra bearing but still use original washer, as for rarenium it has two spool one has carbontex and one in picture has felt washer
