I think viscosity would have a large affect, also i personally wouldnt like to handle it such that it would pour nicely into a small tube.

60 quid, should I buy?

A. Single sided paddock stand so I can lift my bike regularly and easily to lube the chain.

B. Scottoiler so it saves me the bother, makes my C&S last longer, and when I do need to work on the bike, I'll use a trolley jack and a block of wood.

Well, I really am quite agnostic on this, and the paddock stand is winning the poll so far.

Apologies! I read your original post much earlier on!

I'd get a scott oiler, purely on the basis that i seldom perform bike maintenance myself, thus relieving much need for my paddock stands.

I'd much rather entrust my bike's health to trained professionals as i'd only balls something up.
