Shimano recommended gear grease CU150 DC

Post by Texas_bullet » Fri Mar 29, 2019 10:10 am

From the Curado E and newer the main drive gear has finer teeth. What grease does Shimano recommend? Have a bunch to service. Thanks!

Is it ACE-2?

ACE-2 just like the rest of the low profile reels we make. ACE-0 for the cross carbon drag washers.

I have a drag grease container marked ACE RB-2. What generation /model reels require that?
Thanks, Bill in Dallas

Bantam1, neither a local Shimano repair station nor the guy at the Irvin number had any knowledge of the ACE-0 grease you specified for Cross Carbon drag washers. I found some ACE-0 online. Where else is that grease used? Just being anal :roll: .
I own a dozen Shimano reels and want to give them the best care.

#2. Just buy it off ebay. Here are a couple of links to the two smallest sizes available.

ACE2 is all you need. Tackle Warehouse sells it. Cals is also a good one to use.

ACE-0 other part number is RD16394. I'll have to email the CS team and make sure they use the list they were provided with the grease part numbers. We have some new people and it seems I need to jog their memory...

All of the authorized service centers received the list with the grease part numbers. I will make sure they get it again.

Bantam1, I was able to source ACE-0 online, so will start servicing a dozen + reels next week. Thanks for following up with the Service Centers. You are a fine rep for Shimano. =D>

I'm an employee of Shimano not a rep. That changes things a little ;)
