Refine Damper Tuning with Tamiya 54713 Silicone Oil 550

Modifying damper viscosity is an efficient way to alter handling without swapping springs or mounts. The 40ml Tamiya bottle provides enough oil to service several shocks and allows neat, repeatable adjustments.

Effect of the 550 Viscosity

A 550 viscosity gives stronger damping resistance, producing a firmer, more controlled ride on smooth surfaces and circuits. The identifiable colouring on the bottle helps you keep viscosities organised in your pit bag.

Use Cases and Compatibility

This silicone oil is compatible with standard oil-filled dampers used in buggies, trucks and touring cars, helping you tune compression and rebound to suit track conditions.

Yes, 550 typically benefits cars on smooth tarmac or carpet where reduced body roll and crisper response are needed. Adjust spring rates as required.
Tamiya silicone oils are formulated for shock internals and are generally safe with standard seals. Check components for wear during service to avoid leaks.
Make one change at a time and run a few laps to judge handling. Record settings so you can revert if the new oil does not suit the track.
