Pinewood Derby Car Lubricants

Lubricants can make the critical difference between winning or losing a race. Our lubricants have been formulated to work the best with the plastic wheels and metal axles on your Pinewood Derby car.


Dry Lubricants

The fastest dry lubricant available.
Legal in all races that specify that only dry lubricants can be used.

$3.95
Order tubes

A blend of micron size graphite particles blended with Molybdenum. The molybdenum acts as microscopic ball bearings, and also spreads the graphite out for more even lubrication.

 

Pure Graphite

Graphite Lubricant

The fastest pure graphite available
Best for races that specify that only graphite can be used.

$3.95

Order tubes

This pure extra fine graphite is high in carbon content giving superior lubricating characteristics. A special blend of micron size graphite particles are formulated to reduce the coefficient of friction and give your car the winning edge. Tested faster than any other brand of pure graphite.


Graphite should be first applied before the wheels are attached to the car

How to apply graphite:

  1. Insert a wheel into an axle.
  2. Hold the wheel down. Shake the graphite tube then squeeze out several puffs of graphite into the gap between the wheel and the axle.
  3. Tap the wheel several times with your finger to move the graphite throughout the wheel.
  4. Hold the axle horizontal and spin the wheel with your finger several times.
  5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 several times.
  6. Attach the wheel and axle to your car.

Nyoil II Lubricant
1/2 oz.

$8.95 each
Order bottles

Thin Film Liquid Lubricant
If your race allows liquid lubricants then
this is what you want.

NyOil II is a highly-refined synthetic thin-film lubricant with an ultra-low viscosity. It has a tough film strength for long lasting lubrication. When properly applied, it outperforms dry lubricants including graphite.

NyOil II can be safely used with any brand of pinewood derby wheels. It is colorless, odorless, non-hazardous, and plastic-safe. The key to using a thin-film lubricant is that " less is best ". Applying too much lubricant will slow your car down.

How to use:

  1. Put one drop of lubricant on an axle.
  2. Tip the axle so down and let the lube flow to the end of the axle.
  3. Insert a wheel into the axle.
  4. Spin the wheel several times.
  5. Remove the axle and wipe off the lubricant with a clean, soft rag.
  6. Reinsert the wheel into the axle and attach to your car.

Well he did it.  Jacob and his Pittsburgh Steelers car won first prize at our
annual pine car derby races.  He beat out 60+ other scouts to come out on
top.  He will now go on to compete against all the other pack champs from
Nassau county sometime in March.  We are so proud of him.  I haven't
seen him so excited and happy in a long time.  He almost collapsed in
his chair when he won the final race.... Ellen

Thanks for the quick service on this order. My kids took 3rd out of about 60 cars. The Nyoil worked great!.. Tyler B

Outstanding products and service! Aaron took 2nd place in our pack by beating every car but one. At district this first place car was disqualified. It is the dads and not the kids that bend the rules so we did not press it. So in other words, we technically had 1st place. Thanks again!...Gary D
