The problem with oil is that it doesn't always stay on the components that need to be lubricated. If your going to use oil in a reel IMO its best to use an oil that is designed to stick to what its lubricating, most types of chain oil fit this description. I use heavy chainsaw bar oil, the summer stuff, in my ice fishing reels with good success. YMMV.
I've heard of people using vasoline to pack a reel in a pinch, I would try that before gun oil.

Is Gunslick Ultra-lube a viable alternative to actual reel grease?
