I get mine from lidls but gt85 or treat yourself to some posh acf50 or there is a 3in1 ptfe spray.
I do prefer the ptfe type sprays myself it does seem to build up a protective layer over time.
I have 9 sts and use them and service them in rotation (it does have its drawbacks like doing 2KM worth of re-spooling last weekend) they all look pretty good and in a decade i have only had to replace bearings and a couple of other parts..
Look after them and they are great reels, if you dont, springs go, drag does not work....... so its worth spending a little time to get to know them.
