Refine Handling with Tamiya 54988 - 300000 Silicon Oil

Model builders seeking a firmer steering characteristic can use the Tamiya 54988 - 300000 Silicon Differential Oil in sealed gear differentials to achieve more controlled cornering and steadier responses. Its thicker profile helps stabilise the diff under load.

What the 300000 Rating Means

The 300000 viscosity is a high grade that suits oil filled gear differentials where increased internal damping gives a more direct steering feel. This is useful on circuits where predictable turn in and reduced mid corner slide are important.

Refill and Tuning Notes

The 30cc bottle gives enough fluid for multiple refills and experimentation with fill levels. Using this viscosity can improve traction by evening out torque delivery, but combine it with appropriate suspension and tyre setup for best results.

Yes, switching to a higher viscosity like 300000 can alter understeer and oversteer tendencies, so retune suspension and check tyre pressures after changing oil.
High viscosity can make diffs feel tighter which may not be ideal for drift setups that prefer freer differentials; drifters often use much lower viscosities to allow slide.
Keep the bottle sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve fluid properties and prevent contamination.
