can someone explain to me, how and what I need to do, as far as oiling
and cleaning my baitcast reels.

I'm sure if you do a google.com search for this group, there have been other
such inquiries in the past. But it's really quite simple.

Simply take the reel apart and lay it in the order that you took the parts
off. Simply clean the parts with either warm soapy water, low odor mineral
spirits or some other cleaner, grease the gears, oil the bearings and put it
back together. If you have a reasonable degree of mechanical aptitude, and
the ability to remember the order of the parts, it's pretty easy and a good
way to spend a cold, winter afternoon. Make sure that you put a drop or two
of oil on the levelwind and the spindles for the handles, these are two
places often overlooked.

Take particular care with those little e clips. I call them "Jesus Clips"
because everytime I take one off, it seems to go flying and I yell
"JESUS!!!"
