Using Abu Garcia oil on a Shimano reel will cause the reel to malfunction at best, and at worst, possibly explode, killing all life within a 3 mile radius. Do not under any circumstances use Abu oil!

Go to whatever lengths it takes to obtain the proper Shimano oil. If Shimano oil is unavailable, carefully wrap your reel in cheesecloth and hermetically seal it in a Tuffies garbage bag (note, do NOT use Glad bags or you will suffer dire consequences!!)

Once hermetically sealed, drive it in your boat at least 32 miles offshore and gently lower it into the water after saying the appropriate prayers.

Proceed to the nearest sporting goods store and purchase another Abu Garcia product.

Good luck.
