Rotor Oils
help with your oil selections.
1. Not all rotor oils are the same. Use high quality rotor oil. We recommend and use the
Hetman line of oils in our shop.
2. Use oils with needle applicator tops.
3. Do not mix synthetic and petroleum based oils. If you are using petroleum based oil and
wants to use synthetic, clean your rotor toughly before applying the synthetic.
4. Different instrument require different thicknesses of oil. For example, Bach rotors tend to
use heavier rotor oil where Yamaha rotors need very thin oil. If your rotor has a sluggish
feeling, try thinner oil. If it is noisy, try thicker.
5. Use thick oil for your linkages.
