The Yokomo YOKCSDOT1 is a Dot 1 viscosity silicone differential oil formulated specifically for RC-scale gear differentials. It suits 1/10 scale electric on-road and touring chassis where subtle diff behaviour and improved low-speed traction are desired. This is a model tuning fluid and not intended for full-size automotive or non-RC use.
In practice, Dot 1 lowers internal drag and allows the differential to engage more freely under light torque, aiding corner entry and traction on low-grip surfaces. Choose this viscosity when you need a quicker recovery from steering inputs compared with heavier dot fluids.
Installation is straightforward: drain the existing fluid, clean or flush internals if needed, then refill to the differential's recommended volume and reassemble. Run a brief track session to let the oil settle before making final tuning changes.
