Valve Oil SELECT Select Olejek do wentyli - lubricant for brass instrument valves

Select Olejek do wentyli by SELECT is a liquid valve oil formulated for lubricating valves on brass and keyed wind instruments. Designed to reduce friction and maintain smooth valve action, this lubricant helps prevent sticking and supports reliable performance during practice and performance. The formulation is suitable for regular maintenance of piston and rotor valves on instruments such as trumpets, cornets and trombones, and can be used where a lightweight, non-gumming oil is required.

Advantages

This valve oil provides consistent lubrication with low viscosity that allows quick penetration into valve casings and guides. It minimizes metal-to-metal contact to reduce wear and helps maintain responsive valve action. The oil is designed to resist gumming and residue buildup during normal use, enabling longer intervals between cleanings. Its neutral properties are compatible with a wide range of brass instrument materials and finishes.

Suitable for

• Regular maintenance of trumpet and cornet piston valves
• Lubrication of trombone rotor valves and other rotary valve systems
• Situations where quick, smooth valve response is needed during practice and performance
• Musicians seeking a lightweight, non-gumming liquid valve lubricant

Key specifications

• Form: clear, low-viscosity liquid
• Function: reduces friction and prevents valve sticking
• Compatibility: suitable for piston and rotary valves on brass instruments
• Performance: designed to resist gumming and minimize residue under normal use

How to use

Apply a small amount of oil directly to the valve surface or into the valve casing according to the instrument type: for piston valves, remove the valve and place a few drops on the valve body and inside the casing before reassembling; for rotary valves, apply oil to the rotor bearings and linkage points as accessible. Operate the valve several times after application to distribute the lubricant evenly. Wipe away any excess oil with a clean cloth to avoid attracting dust.

Usage recommendations

Use regularly as part of routine instrument maintenance, especially when valves begin to feel sluggish or make noise. Store the oil tightly capped in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and keep out of reach of children. If unusual residues appear, clean the valve components following the instrument manufacturer's cleaning instructions before reapplying lubricant.
