Scottoiler Oil
 

Ive used the Scottoiler this year and its been great in keeping my chain well oiled. However, its also keeping my back wheel well oiled too and theres quite a lot of fling i find. I think its set on about 3-4 at the moment. The chain doesnt look overoiled at all. Im using the bluey green scottoil at the moment. Is this the best stuff to get or is there anything which doenst fling off as much?

I am using the same as you but only have it at 1 - 2 which was how it came set after I got it installed pre-delivery.

Can I suggest that you may have yours turned up too high?

One drop every 40 seconds is the guide. You will need to raise/lower the setting as the ambient air temp changes.

I never get any oil on the rear tyre so sounds like you have it too high at the moment. Where does the nozzle discharge to?

Make sure the nozzle is aligned right on the sproket (should be touching).

Yeah its right on the sprocket - i turned it up slightly because i thought it wasnt dispensing enough. The chain itself looks dry on the outside but well oiled inside - is that the right setup?

Sounds right. 1-2 is usually fine for this time of year when it's dry. See how you get on with that.

Ill give it a go, i always thought it was supposed to be higher than that.

Its all personal preference, I've had mine on 2 during the summer but I'm moving it up to 4 now.

Mines normally on 5 or 6! lol It goes even higher when out in the wet!

I use Automatic Transmission fluid and set it for 1 drip every 40-45 seconds

in winter, I thin the ATF with kerosene
