EP80/90 gear oils and chains
 

Who uses it in scottoiler?

I thought it would be perfect, it's thick and EP additives should be perfect for the rolling contact of chain.

However I couldn't seem to get it to flow through the oiler consistently so went back to old engine oil.

Worth mixing gear oil and the old engine oil? Think mark_h mentioned that is what he does.

ever tried chainsaw oil in a scotty?

Don't use a scott but TUTORO use EP 75w90 in summer
sticks on the chain well and the RSV only had one chain adjustment when i fitted new tyres (4,000 miles)

Nope. I use Scott oiler oil in my oiler but chainsaw oil when I do manual oiling.

Whoops, must have been mistaken identity then. Still, seems like a reasonable thing to try.

Oooh, never thought of that, will watch this with interest, got a few litres of this after a change on the Disco

just thought of another, 2T.. if its good enough for the crankcase bearings in a two stroke then i must be ok for chains. BTW i use scottoil in my oiler.

2T is a bit of a dear do though.
