Send it back, you doing any work on it voids the warranty.

Honestly, don't be lazy, if it is a defect then return it, not worth messing around with it and then ending up messing up the reel worst.
If it's braid line you're using, then try this. Take all the line out, put a little tape on spool and then re-spool with braid and try pulling the line, if it's still soft then it's a defect. Like i said before "RETURN IT" haha good luck with which ever route you take.
What's wrong with WD40 and oil on the drag washers?
I use WD40 for everything...I even spray it on my baits.
Yeah...wd40 is basically water, whats wrong with that?What's wrong with WD40 and oil on the drag washers?

Haha DS, as the name implies WD40 is a water displacement formula, but it destroys the oil/grease bond you have on your drag washers. reel oil has too low viscosity and you'll have to re-apply every few hours of use if you want your drags not stuttering.What's wrong with WD40 and oil on the drag washers?

by all means put them on your baits so they dont get water logged and some even say its a fish attractant, but stick to cals or shimano drag grease for the drag washers..
ohh and lets not forget how effective WD40 is on warts and bunions!
WD40 is NOT basically water.. quite the opposite actually.. and even if it is, you definitely dont want any water on your drag washers..
Take ur reel back and get a new one that WORKS !
Not to be a smart *** or anything..
Function
The long-term active ingredient is a non-volatile, viscous oil which remains on the surface, providing lubrication and protection from moisture. This is diluted with a volatile hydrocarbon to give a low viscosity fluid which can be sprayed and thus penetrate crevices. The volatile hydrocarbon then evaporates, leaving the oil behind. A propellant (originally a low-molecular weight hydrocarbon, now carbon dioxide) provides gas pressure in the can to force the liquid through the spray nozzle, then itself diffuses away.
These properties make the product useful in both home and commercial fields; lubricating and loosening joints and hinges, removing dirt and residue, extricating stuck screws and bolts, and preventing rust are common usages. The product also may be useful in displacing moisture.
