Adjust Differential Lock Using Tamiya 22007 Silicone Oil 5000

Tamiya Silicone Oil 5000, model 22007, is a handy tuning fluid for oil-based gear differentials. It helps drivers tune how the diff transfers torque between the driven wheels for clearer handling feedback.

Effect on Handling and Stability

At 5000cSt this silicone oil raises internal resistance to smooth power delivery through corners, reducing abrupt rotation changes. The squeeze bottle is compact and practical for pit-side top ups.

Quantity and Typical Coverage

The 40cc green bottle should cover roughly 22 fills for standard touring car differentials, offering a good balance between capacity and shelf life for occasional racers and club drivers.

Higher viscosity yields stronger internal coupling so the diff behaves more like a locked unit under load, which can aid corner exit traction but may reduce steering agility.
It is suitable for oil-style centre diffs where manufacturer specs allow silicone fluids. Verify recommended viscosities for your specific centre diff before changing fluid.
Use a syringe or slim applicator to control flow, keep the work area clean, and wipe excess oil from the case lip before reassembly to prevent leaks.
Small amounts can be taken to local recycling or hazardous waste centres if required. Do not pour oil down drains; follow local disposal rules for lubricants.
