LOL

Now here's the thing folks, I seem to not have the proper lube for the reel. I just re-lubed it last night and it was working fine... but after 1 dunk in the river all was not fine. It started getting really, really stiff. Second time this has happened.

I am using pellet gun oil, with the consistency of sewing machine oil. It must be too thin of a lubricant.

Any recommendations? I generally want to avoid fishing-branded items.

Further: the drag stack is in dire need of a cleaning, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to access it... even after looking at the schematics. Is anybody familiar with the Abu Garcia Cardinal 4 spinning reels?

This one:
