Lots of folks use old engine oil in their scottys, so new oil will be fine - the cheapest you can find! I'm still using the proper Scottoil though.

I cant see the economic sense in buying new engine oil to put into an oiler. Mind you I havent worked how it compares per litre with the scotoiler oil.
I know one thing. The Scotoiler stuff is much much easier to clean off your wheels the engine oil is...

However Scottoil is much easier to clean up and is 'cleaner' in general than engine oil. If I were to use engine oil, I'd use what came out of my bike.... EDIT: beaten to the sums |
