Welcome to the official Team ZX1 FAQ page. Here you’ll find answers to the most commonly asked questions about our advanced lubrication and metal treatment range – including EXTRALUBE ZX1 Micro Oil Metal Treatment, Micro µ Grease, C60 Spray Lube and C76 Pin Oiler. Whether you’re a professional engineer, vehicle owner or distributor, this page offers technical guidance and support to help you get the best from our products.
“EXTRALUBE ZX1 does not contain any solids it is ideal for using in hydraulic systems to reduce running temperature and improve efficiency by reducing internal friction thereby improving component life.
To use EXTRALUBE ZX1 in hydraulics we advise a 1% ratio of ZX1 to Hydraulic oil, if possible, bypass the hydraulic oil tank and introduce the ZX1 directly into the working part of the system which will ensure that the ZX1 gets to the working parts quicker.
In the past we have witnessed the following, a JCB with a concrete breaker attached was running at 7/8ths throttle to acquire the ideal breaking action, 1% of EXTRALUBE ZX1 was introduced to the hydraulic oil tank, within +/- 15 minutes the throttle was backed off to 5/8ths retaining the same breaking action.”
“Thank you for your enquiry, EXTRALUBE ZX1 is purely a metal treatment and will not affect the composite fibre of the clutch plate, go ahead and treat your motorbike.”
“If you put approximately 20 ml of ZX1 in your steering fluid it will help the power steering pump.”
“EXTRALUBE ZX1 can be added to the fuel to help the upper cylinder areas such as the valves, it will also help clean the injectors as it passes through the system.
Use 1 ml ZX1 per 1 litre of fuel as an initial treatment and then a half dose again after approximately 1000 miles, for subsequent treatments also use 0.5 ml per 1 litre of fuel, this can be done at any time you feel the engine would benefit another treatment.”
“Yes, ZX1 Grease can be used on bearings. It is a high-performance grease that provides excellent lubrication and protection for various types of bearings, including ball bearings, roller bearings, and plain bearings. It can help reduce friction, prevent wear, and extend the lifespan of the bearings.”
“For manual transmissions use a 5% ratio of ZX1 Micro oil to the volume of gearbox oil.”
“Our Grease is the only Lithium Complex based grease reinforced with ZX1 Micro Oil. During operation the non-particulate ZX1migrates from the grease to the components forming an extremely durable substrate film which becomes the wearing surface.”
“With its advanced formulation, ZX1 Grease will offer longer intervals between reapplications compared to conventional greases, making it more efficient and cost-effective.”
“Yes, We suggest you spray the chain with C60 ZX1 Extralube, this will help loosen any rusty parts and help free jammed mechanisms, it will also keep the chain in good shape and reduce drag; some of our customers have remarked that it dramatically reduces chain stretch.”
“C60 Trigger Spray is a precise molecular structure of components reinforced with Extralube ZX1 to produce an all purpose industrial strength lubricant which as tremendous penetrating and lubricating properties. Use to lubricate Control Cables, Radio Controlled and scale models, Mountain and Racing Bikes and Hand and power tools.
100s of other uses all around the home and workshop.”
“C60 Spray Lube is a fantastically versatile and stable lubricant, penetrating oil and water displacement product unrivalled in its class.”
“C60 Micro Lube Trigger Spray is a high-performance, multi-purpose lubricant designed to outlast and outperform standard sprays. It’s infused with ZX1 Micro Oil Metal Treatment technology, which means it not only lubricates but also treats metal surfaces to reduce wear and prevent corrosion. Whether you’re freeing up seized bolts, protecting tools from rust, or maintaining bike chains and hinges, C60 penetrates deep and keeps working long after other sprays wear off. It’s the smart choice for anyone who demands professional-grade performance—at home, in the workshop, or on the move.”
“Unlike generic oils, C76 contains ZX1 Micro-Oil Metal Treatment, which bonds to metal surfaces to reduce friction and wear. It also uses a precision needle tip for clean, accurate application with minimal mess.”
“Yes. The C76 formula is PTFE- and solvent-free, making it safe for most plastics and composites. However, we recommend a patch test on delicate materials.”
“No. The viscous formulation combined with the leak-resistant cap ensures long shelf life and secure storage, even when carried in a toolbox or tackle bag.”
“Absolutely. The C76 is ideal for precise lubrication of small, delicate mechanical parts—including firearms, sewing machines, and reel gears—offering lasting protection without excess oil buildup.”
“Maintenance Pack 1 or 2 is ideal for general automotive care, as they include engine treatment, grease for joints and bearings, spray lube for external parts, and a precision oiler for fine components.”
“es. All ZX1 products are non-particulate, PTFE-free, and safe for use with modern engines, filters, and emissions systems.”
“Yes, all items are available individually. However, the Maintenance Packs offer better value and are designed to provide complete protection in one bundle.”
“Absolutely. ZX1 Micro Oil Metal Treatment and associated products are compatible with petrol, diesel, and hybrid engines (see hybrid advisory notes on product pages).”
