Shimano Baitrunner 8010 GT lubrication

[Old fisher]

I have had three Shimano Aero 8010 GTs since they first came on the market, but have used them very little over the years. I would like to refresh the lubricants and would like to know how to lubricate without a total disassembly operation. Is it possible ? Thanks

Here’s a Shimano video that details lubricating Shimano fixed spool reels without taking them apart which should help you.

I use 3 in 1 oil but the video uses Shimano oil of course.

Hi Keith. Thank you. I was also wondering if I can remove a side plate and inspect any possibly hardened grease on the gears and then re grease where needed. I have looked on YouTube but they always dismantle the whole reel. If only they were as simple as the old Mitchells it would be a piece of cake. Again thank you for the video, it is a great help.

Some of Shimano's reels do not allow the opening of said side plate,try ringing Felindre...
