carbon fiber drag

Just ordered my first reel with a carbon fiber/steel drag. Anybody else use one? How do you like it? Is there any type of maintenance on them? I always clean and relube my felt drag washers every year or 2. Do they need lube at all or is it a dry system?

    Looks like high temp teflon grease is the way to go. Still wondering how people like theirs. I'm getting a spinning reel, I hope its silky smooth.

    As long as it is a conical drag, and not one of those click drags. Those click drags always end up burning out on me, especially in freezing temps.
