High-speed oil

The lubricant that keeps your bearings and bushings performing at their best

In the world of slot racing, the small details of preparation are what separate a car that runs smoothly from one that loses tenths due to unnecessary friction. The high-speed oil SWOIL is specially designed for the lubrication of bearings and bushings, two critical points in the mechanics of any slot car that competes or is prepared with high standards.

Function and application

The bearings and bushings operate at very high revolutions as soon as the motor is under load. Insufficient lubrication or the use of an inadequate product generates heat, premature wear, and loss of performance. This high-speed oil is formulated to maintain the correct working point even under demanding conditions, reducing friction without trapping dirt or interfering with the free rotation of the axle.

How to apply it correctly

• Apply a very small amount: in precision lubrication, excess is as harmful as lack.
• Direct the drop straight to the bearing or bushing, avoiding the oil reaching the braids or guide.
• After application, let the car run for a few seconds on the bench or track before timing, to allow the lubricant to distribute evenly.
• Repeat the application periodically based on usage: in competition sessions, it is advisable to check the lubrication state before each important race.

Ideal for…

• Preparers and club drivers looking to squeeze every tenth out of their setups.
• Enthusiasts performing preventive maintenance on their fleet of slot cars.
• Any setup with ball bearings or axle bushings requiring low viscosity lubrication at high rotation speeds.

Aspects to consider

Always use specific oils for each point of the car: what works well on bearings may not be suitable for gears or front drive axles. Keeping the lubricants in your preparation kit differentiated is good practice that avoids mistakes and prolongs the life of all components.

Frequently asked questions

Which parts of the car is this oil suitable for?

It is specially formulated for bearings and bushings, which are the elements that operate at the highest rotation speeds within a slot car.

Can I also use it on the gears or crown gear?

That is not its primary use. For gears, crown gear, and pinion, there are specific lubricants of higher viscosity. Using a high-speed oil in those areas may be insufficient to properly protect the tooth flanks.

How much should I apply?

The minimum possible. A small drop per bearing is sufficient. Excess lubricant can attract dust and end up being counterproductive.

How often should I lubricate the bearings?

It depends on usage. In club competition, it is advisable to check the lubrication before each important session. In recreational use, one application every few track days is usually sufficient.

Is it compatible with ball bearings and sintered bronze bushings?

It is suitable for bearings in general. If you have doubts about compatibility with a specific material, it is safest to consult the recommendations of your chassis or bearing set manufacturer.

High-speed bearing oil for slot cars — a must-have in any serious slot car preparation kit. Specially formulated for ball bearings and bushings running at high RPM, this lubricant minimizes friction and wear, helping your slot car deliver consistent lap times. Compatible with most 1/32 and 1/24 scale slot car setups. Essential for club racing maintenance and competitive slot car tuning.
