It cost the princely sum of 99p and the oil is just slightly heavier than sewing machine oil. I've tested it on my Rapidex and the spin time is only a few seconds shorter than when lubricated with sewing machine oil.

Oil Pen
I've often looked for a means of putting a drop of oil on my pin whilst fishing and yesterday I found this in Lidle:

Like that, Lidl I the way home!
I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete.

Re: Oil Pen
Funny you should mention that Sean, only last month I purchased a watchmakers precision oil pen and filled it with Garry Mills reel oil. It's great for getting into those tiny Altex and Ambidex oil slots.

Re: Oil Pen
Daiwa sell an almost identical product to that Mark, containing their reel oil. Though priced somewhat more expensive than Sean's item, which on the face of it looks a bargain.

Must be a bargain, none in my Lidl :-(
