We disassemble the entire reel degrease the parts, inspect and change parts required, add the oil and lube, change all of the seals to prepare the reel for another season of fishing."

I'm confused....

What I don't get is that why does a reel that is supposedly waterproof need to have parts changed every year? My Penn 704 is over 35 years old. I do the maintenance on it myself and I've never needed to change a part.
