RB, I just re read the first 6 posts of this thread. Of which 5 were the op. The stupidity I mention was not the fact he didn't know moreso the way he went about it...
"Manufacturers have used grease or sometimes even a heavy oil on their washers ever since I can remember. Mostly because the washer material used wouldn't work very well, or last very long, with it. For instance.. a lot of spinning reels come with an oiled felt washer, whether it be on one washer or three."

My understanding is that oil is perhaps better in colder countries and grease is better to use in Australia.
