Does anyone know where you can buy drag washer grease online? or is it usual to just buy new washers?

Basspro has drag grease, i got some for my shimano reels, it cost $6.99 for 1oz tub (actual shimano drag grease) and it will last me for the rest of my Life.

Might be damp in them ,my shimano tld 20 was terrible until i took the drag apart and washed the washers down with neat fairy liquid then gave them a good rinse in warm water ,dried them out over night and it was like a new drag .
