I put the wrong oil on my zillion's worm gear, so I had to clean the wormgear out and get rid of most of the oil. There is still a tiny bit left.  Do you think I could use the reel for a day with an un oiled worm gear?  Would It cause any permanent damage to the reel?

    In a pinch, ANY oil is better than no oil. I wouldn't run it dry.

    I just decided to wait.  Since I ran out of oil I need to order some from Daiwa.

    What was the wrong oil? if it was like a 3n1 it would work temporally, if it was an automotive type then its to heavy.

    But I wouldn't as stated run it dry, there needs to be at least one drop of reel oil on it...

    Oil & Grease..

    Good Luck & Tight Lines!!!
