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.

Re: EP80/90 gear oils and chains
Worth mixing gear oil and the old engine oil? Think mark_h mentioned that is what he does.

Re: EP80/90 gear oils and chains
Whoops, must have been mistaken identity then. Still, seems like a reasonable thing to try.

Re: EP80/90 gear oils and chains
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.
