That's good question. I use Penn Lube for the gears, Penn oil for the rollars and handles and such and Penn cleaner to keep the outside and my rods looking sharp. The Penn lubes are full synthetic and they hold up well. I also recommend putting a squirt or two of oil in the gear case with the grease.

do you clean it in warm soapy water at all or is that bad?

Yes you can clean you reel with warm soapy water, or you can just wipe the old lube off everything the reassemble and lube. I usually have a roll of paper towels handy when I start cleaning reels. What reels in particular are you working on.
