Curado cleaning - grease or oil?

Finally got around to deep cleaning my old green curado cu200's. I have never pulled the handle side off before. I cleaned out all the old grease with a q-tip and rubbing alcohol. For re-assembly, should I apply any grease or oil? I feel like a little grease on the roller clutch bearing wouldn't hurt and maybe a little oil on the drive gear and yoke wouldn't hurt but looking for some 2cool advice.

On the shimano site they say to oil around the brake collars, spool bearing, brake case and spool bearing, rewind system. It says to grease the drive gear and drag washer.

My main concern is greasing the roller clutch and the drive gear; I'm just no sure and since my reels are older, not sure if I should go by the general tips on the shimano site.
