PREMIUM LOW DENSITY Oil

Precision lubrication with a ceramic base: Tectime's low-density oil for slot and competition modelling

The Premium Low Density Oil TT0312 belongs to the range of lubricants from Tectime, a reference in the world of slot and miniature vehicle preparation. Its specific formulation makes it particularly suitable for the most delicate areas of the car, where the viscosity of the lubricant makes the difference between smooth, free movement and constant performance loss.

Main features

Its main hallmark is the ceramic-based additive, a powerful anti-friction agent that works effectively even when temperatures rise during intense running sessions or long-duration competitions. The ceramic base provides a stable lubricating film that protects contact surfaces without easily depositing or degrading.

• Low density formulation: easily penetrates the narrowest points of the mechanics.
• Ceramic-based additive: high-performance anti-friction, stable at high temperatures.
• Especially indicated for bearings and tight bushings.
• Reduces friction on front axles over adjustment screws.
• Presented in a new controlled application container.

Recommended applications

This oil is designed for those points of the slot car where a low-viscosity lubricant is needed that does not add resistance or drag to movement. Its most common uses include:

• Bearings: a small amount applied directly to the bearing promotes free and silent rotation, extending its lifespan.
• Tight bushings: in these elements, the tolerance is minimal, making low-density oil the correct choice over thicker greases or oils that could generate resistance.
• Front axles and adjustment screws: friction on the front axles can cause erratic behaviour in corners; a small drop of this oil at the contact point improves the vehicle's steering response.

Behaviour and performance

The ceramic component is what distinguishes this lubricant from conventional low-density oils. The ceramic acts as a microscopic shield between the metal surfaces in contact, reducing wear even in the most demanding phases. Unlike lubricants without special additives, it maintains its properties when the motor or bearings reach high temperatures, which is common in prolonged training sessions or circuits with heavy workloads.

Usage recommendations

With low-density lubricants, less is more. A minimal amount — a single drop in most cases — is sufficient to properly lubricate a bearing or axle. Excess oil can attract dust and dirt, which over time increases wear instead of reducing it. Apply precisely, remove the excess with a clean cloth, and check the rotation before reassembling the parts.

For best results, clean the bearings or bushings with an appropriate solvent to remove residues of old lubricant or accumulated dirt, and apply the oil to the already clean and dry part.

Frequently asked questions

What type of bearings is this oil suitable for?

It is compatible with standard ball bearings used in slot cars, both on the rear axle and in the front areas. Its low density makes it particularly suitable for tight bearings and bushings, where thicker oils would generate resistance.

How does low-density oil differ from bearing grease?

Grease has a higher viscosity and is more suitable for gears or areas where long-lasting lubrication under pressure is needed. Low-density oil, on the other hand, penetrates better into tight tolerance elements such as bearings and front axles, offering less resistance to movement. For competitive slot racing, bearings are usually lubricated with oil, not grease.

What advantage does the ceramic base provide over an oil without additives?

The ceramic base acts as an additional anti-friction agent that protects metal surfaces even at high temperatures. An oil without additives may degrade or lose properties with the heat generated during a race, while the ceramic component maintains its performance under more demanding conditions.

How often should the oil be applied to the bearings?

It depends on usage and environment. In regular competition, it is recommended to check and relubricate the bearings after each intense session or when noticing that the rotation is no longer as free. In recreational use, a periodic check every few weeks of running is sufficient.

Can it also be used on the motor?

The information provided by Tectime indicates its use in bearings, bushings, and front axles. For specific motor lubrication, consult the manufacturer's recommendations or use a lubricant expressly indicated for that component.
