Is scottoiler oil hydroscopic and would it be ok if...

... it had emptied itself from the bottle into a cleanish plastic toolbox if filtered of any lumpy bits and then used?

Just curious.


What is this: ????

No it's not, just a formula of stick oil is all, as long as it'll flow it'll be fine.

Cheers Mark.

What is stick oil?

Just read that fitting a scottoiler invalidates the Triumph warranty! That's a bit silly. WIll have to check with my chosen dealer when I choose one. Know of any good ones around West London/M25? Need to have the first service done soon. Hughenden is my nearest I think.

I wouldn't worry to much, never found a dealer who had a problem with it, it's more a case of fitting it properly.

As for the "stick oil", to be more accurate it's supposed to be "anti-fling", sticks to the chain better, some propriatory formula, personaly I use old engine oil and have done for a very long time, the last chain on an SV returned 54,000 miles, so if it works like that, I'm happy.

Was thinking today and some of the oil I used to use in big refrigeration plants was took in so much moisture that if you left a tin open it would eventually overflow. We were all told to open it and use it within a few days, otherwise it would cause acid which would burn out motor windings.

Obviously not worried about that happening on a chain!
