Featuring a precision needle tip for accurate application, it offers a conductive formula that enhances electric motor performance and track cleaning. Its non-shedding, long-lasting lubrication protects gears, bushings, and motor components, ensuring smooth operation and extended equipment life. Trusted by hobbyists with a 4.8-star rating, this lubricant is easy to apply and clean, making it an essential maintenance tool for serious model train enthusiasts. ## Description Product Description Each of the lubricants has a specific purpose. The light gear oil is for use on all gears, bushings, shafts, and bolsters. It is non-shedding and will not sling off. The heavy gear oil lubricates for extended periods of time and is formulated for use on motor bushings, bearings, valve gear, side rods, and draft gear boxes. For applications requiring heavier viscosity material, such as Large Scale trains, it’s best to use the heavy duty grease. And for superior electric motor maintenance and track cleaning, your choice is the conductive contact lubricant. From the Manufacturer Each of the lubricants has a specific purpose.

Review: Nice product - Great product works great thank you Review: Excellent lubricant for mech mods; precise dispensing method - This works wonderfully as a lube on mech mod switches and body threading to maintain good, smooth as silk performance and reduce issues such as hot buttons. It's very thin (consistency of water) and only a very small amount is needed for good results. The bottle comes with a needle tip dispenser that works very well for accurate/precise dispensing. It uses a standard Luer Lock needle so should the one it comes with be too narrow or too wide a guage (or it gets damaged), you can easily replace it. It can be removed with alcohol so, if you over-apply or need to clean the threading it's not a pain to remove (unlike grease). A must have for the mech mod maintenance kit. ## Features - For electric motor maintence - Track cleaning - Electric lubricant - High quality - This item is not for sale in Catalina Island ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000BQ0904 | | Brand | Bachmann | | Brand Name | Bachmann | | Container Type | Bottle | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 623 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00022899999814 | | Included Components | Bachmann Trains - E-Z LUBE - CONDUCTIVE CONTACT LUBE (1 fluid ounce) - For Use With All Scales | | Item Form | Liquid | | Item Type Name | E-Z LUBE - CONDUCTIVE CONTACT LUBE | | Item Weight | 1 ounces | | Liquid Volume | 1 | | Manufacturer | Bachmann Industries Inc. | | Material | Acrylic | | Model Number | 99981 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Package Information | Bottle | | Part Number | 99981 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Electrical | | SAE J300 Viscosity Grade | 30 | | Specific Uses For Product | Cleansing | | UPC | 022899999814 | | Unit Count | 1 Ounce | | Warranty Description | 90 Day Warranty - Warranty information can be found at www.bachmanntrains.com Click on Service department tab. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Bachmann - **Item Weight:** 1 Ounces - **Liquid Volume:** 1 - **Material:** Acrylic - **Package Information:** Bottle ## Images ![Bachmann Trains E-Z Lube Conductive Contact Lube 1 Fl Oz for All Scales | E-Z Lube, E-Z Lube® - Conductive Contact Lube (1 fluid ounce) - For Use With All Scales, 99981 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61SdsnUKxNL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: what kind of oil is used for smoker locomotives** A: Search on Amazon using the phrase "Smoke fluid for model trains". You will find several varieties. I use Piko, but there are many choices including one that is apple scented. **Q: Is there like a protection that I have to cut off? So I don’t use too much in one shot?** A: I don't remember exactly since I bought this in 2013 BUT to trust any sort of aperture on the nozzle and using the 'drip' method is risky if you are lubricating split chassis locos. My colleague and I had the most success by dripping a small amount (3/8" dia.) on a non-absorbent sheet and then use a small flat blade screwdriver to dip in the "puddle' so that a small amount "adheres" to the blade by surface tension. Put the screw driver blade into the axle/chassis interface (assuming you have exposed this) and let the lube be drawn into the contact area. It is after all a conductor and the risk of shorting the two halves of the motor is high and disastrous if you use too much. We resurrected several old Bachmann split chassis locos this way. I believe this product is the same as the old "electrolube" used for many years in industry. With this product, "sparse" is good. Stu. **Q: Where exactly do you apply this? On the wheels?** A: This is not applied to the wheels. There are a number of large scale engine trucks (USA Trains is one) that use electrical pick-up from the axels of the power trucks. This lube is applied sparingly to the axel ends where they enter the pick-up bearing surface of the truck side plates. It would also be used where there might be bronze wipers that touch the axels for electrical pick-up. It could be used on some turn-outs that have a wiping electrical pick-up plate to conduct voltage to the tracks. This lubricant is specifically designed to conduct electricity and could short out circuits. If you use it on the wheel rims, the wheels will slip on the track and this is not good. Hope this helps. **Q: Can this be used with Lionel Legacy locomotives?** A: I don't have Lionel, but had them as a child. This is a contact lube for electric contacts. I wipe a little on the wheels to improve electric pickup. To the extent you can get at the contacts in the Lionel motors, you could lube the armature and contacts there. My G scale motors are sealed. If the electric pickup is through wipers on the wheels you could use it there or on motor bearings if that is in the electric path. This lube has companion products that I use. I use the grease on gears and the track cleaner to clean my track although I have read that mineral spirits are the best cleaner. Hope this helps keep your railroad running! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice product *by G***Z on October 26, 2025* Great product works great thank you ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent lubricant for mech mods; precise dispensing method *by C***T on July 22, 2020* This works wonderfully as a lube on mech mod switches and body threading to maintain good, smooth as silk performance and reduce issues such as hot buttons.
