This Arrowmax am-210029 silicone diff fluid is delivered in a 59ml bottle and rated at 60.000cst. It is intended for use inside model car differentials to tune damping behavior, not as a substitute lubricant for exposed gears or bearing races.
Functional role: changing the oil viscosity alters how quickly torque moves between wheels under load, which affects traction transfer, cornering balance and throttle feel. Only use in diffs or gear-type limited-slip units designed to accept silicone oil.
Practical refill steps: remove the old fluid, carefully inspect internal components and seals for damage or contamination, then refill to the appropriate volume for the diff type. Carry out the work on a clean bench, use lint-free wipes, and avoid introducing debris into the geartrain. Follow local rules for disposal of used oil.
Best practices for tuning: adjust viscosity in small increments and test on the same surface. Note handling differences before changing again. Generally, a thicker oil increases locking and stability, while a thinner oil encourages freer differential action.
Storage advice: keep the cap on when not in use, store at stable room temperature away from sunlight, and prevent contact with paint or susceptible plastics; clean spills promptly.
