Cold weather spinning reel grease

I've been using Sil-Glide from NAPA. Silicon grease that works for me.for gears only. 3 in 1 oil on everything else. Also been experimenting with some TSI 321 on bearings. Seems to be legit.

Just FYI......That "Hot Sauce" Teflon based oil, that everyone says is the greatest thing ever, will keep the gears from retaining grease.   It's known otherwise as Slick-50. 

Probably the worst thing you can do to brass gears, unless you can keep them immersed in it.... which you can't.

So i have been using Rem oil as the lube on the bearings...does that have the same negative effect on preventing the gears from retaining grease?

Possibly, not sure.   

Allegedly it's ok to have "dry" Teflon in the grease..... but not liquified in the oil.

Who knows 😏.
