Turbo Oil for Faster, Cleaner Pinewood Derby Lubrication

If your rules don’t prohibit liquid lubrication, you will want to use our Turbo Oil. Significantly faster than graphite with an easier application process and longer staying power!

A proprietary blend of DuPont®'s Krytox™ GPL 100 synthetic lubricant and other low-viscosity fluorinated oils results in the pinnacle of Pinewood Derby lubrication; much faster than Krytox™ alone!

Turbo Lubricant to Reduce Friction Where It Counts

A fast Pinewood Derby car depends on more than body shape and weight placement. The small contact points between the wheels and axles can also influence how freely the car rolls.

That’s where oil lubricant comes in.

This liquid lubricant is designed to reduce friction between compatible wheel and axle surfaces. A smoother setup can help the wheels spin more freely and preserve momentum as the car travels down the track.

It’s a small step in the building process. Still, when narrow margins decide races, small details deserve attention.

An Easier Alternative to Graphite

Graphite is widely used in Pinewood Derby racing, but applying it can get messy. It may take repeated applications and additional wheel spinning to distribute the powder.

This turbo lubricant offers a more controlled process. The integrated dropper makes it easier to place the oil where it’s needed without coating the car, workbench, and everything nearby in graphite dust.

Turbo Oil also stays in place longer than many dry lubricants. That can make race preparation simpler, especially for parents and youth builders who want a clean, manageable application process.

Designed for Careful Application

More lubricant isn’t always better. Precise application helps prevent excess oil from collecting around the wheel or axle.

Each bottle includes an integrated dropper, allowing builders to apply the product carefully rather than pouring or guessing. Detailed instructions are also included (link below) to walk you through the process.

Take your time. Follow the directions, rotate the wheels as instructed, and allow the lubricant to spread across the intended surfaces.

Before using Turbo Oil from Turbo Derby, always review your local race rules. Some youth organizations allow liquid lubricants, while others only permit dry options such as graphite.
