Dave, think you will find its the same oil, different title, though if unsure, just nip the tops off and a little squirt will confirm: goes on the bearings mate.

dave.......use this oil in the bearings after cleaning......but personally think good old fashioned 3 in 1 is far better for fishing purposes ;D it does tend to suit 65s
and decent grease thats not too thick in the gears .

If the white tube has a red stripe round it then it's actually TG's Yellow rocket fuel I think (it seems that Abu must have run out of yellow pens  ) This stuff goes in the bearings. I find this is ideal for distance fishing in general, with one brake block and mags as you like or one/two brake blocks for non-mag reels. I use automotive lithium based grease in all my reel gears, stays put well  |

Where are the bearings  ? I know bearings as a race of ball bearings but cant see any of those!  I bet these reels never work again after i have taken them apart!  They are abu650 and abu chrome rocket |

The two spool bearing are housed in each end of the spool, one under the brake block spindle and one held in the other end by a small circle clip. There's a small washer under one of them, don't lose it  The third bearing is a roller bearing in side plate for the AR. |
