I can't believe you're all so tight!!! If you get the Scottoil from a shop rather than buying it from egay and incurring postage, it's only like a fiver. Five quid, does that really break the bank?
And it works better than using engine oil IMO, certainly keeps the chain cleaner and far less cack all over your rear wheel and tyre. |

But it doesn't, that's the point -a 100,000 mile demonstration has irrefutably proven this to me. Quote:
If you've got oil on your back wheel/tyre, indeed if there is significant fling, adjust it right.

Makes sense to me to use oil that's made for the job, which works well and keeps my chain clean.
For the sake of £5 and a trip to the local recycling place with my oil I can't be fussed. |

![]() ![]() Yes, some sort of filtration would potentially get the larger particles back out of the oil again. Certainly leaving the pot on a shelf for a couple of weeks and then siphoning the cleaner oil off the top would get rid of most of it ![]() From what Sid is saying the contaminates don't appear to damage the internals of the scottoiler much anyway! So the choice is yours!! ![]() |

"I thought you said you filled it with used engine oil" "That is" "Bugger me, that looks cleaner than some new oil I've put into bikes!" "Well, I leave it to stand for at least a few weeks then decant it into this smaller container (old scottoil container with the filling attachment on top) which I use to actually fill the scottoiler up with." "Ahhh..." Indeed and it's not like your chain is normally in some sterile, hermetically sealed chamber and is highly sensitive to the slightest particle of gunk, is it? I mean, there's plenty of crap off the the road and things sticking on it (to whatever you lube it with) anyway. |
