Scottoiler Alternative Oil

Hi all,
Just wondering does any one put other oils in their scottoiler?
Iv always wondered whether oils such as chain saw oil or engine oil would work

 

Chainsaw oil should work as it's sticky so should cling to the chain.

 

rock oil chainsaw oil or ep gear oil will do

 

its not that expensive to buy and a 1 ltr bottle lasts for ages under a tenner why skimp.

 

Well I must ride more than you, and when on the road it's not always available. There's also lots of suggestions online that their oil is simply repackaged motor oil or something of the sort, with the price bumped up a lot.

To be honest, almost anything thin/thick enough to pump through the Scottoiler and is good for the chain will work. I've tried in a pinch and heard of many others simply using 30wt motor oil. A bit flingy but works.

 

its made by the guys that make chainsaw oil, rock oil, and dyed to make it look different. So I'm led to beleive

 

Use this on my chainsaw, got to be worth a punt at £4.99
