Scottoiler oil query

it probably would do Ed, if it is the same viscosity.

 

dont see why not ed, oil is oil at the end of the day

 

No Ed I have not got a Scott, but I would say in the case of a Scott oiler as long as the oil is no thicker than the specified oil and it is for a similar use then their should be no problem.

 

i use the proper stuff, only cos i didnt know about chainsaw oil i would think any mineral oil would do as i doesnt stay on the chain anyway

 

You couldn't pay me enough to run a Scott-Oiler - absolute junk IMO.

 

Question.

I have been looking at various bits to do with a Scotoiler and most seem to be mounted under the seat. Where do you month them on the 675? (no room under the seat with alarm and other bits of wiring). Also are they easy to fit and do they really make enough of a difference to warrant buying one?

 

Perhaps not, - but it was definitely the right answer!!



Seriously - gimmicks like the Scott-Oiler are just that...a gimmick!!

 

ED,

Would probably leave the chainsaw oil for the chainsaw, did tree work for 5 years, in the winter the oil is very thick, but come the summer as the temp rises the oil turns very thin.
Chainsaw oil is also designed to fling off of the chian as it has to lub the nose sprocket which can be up to 50mm away from source of the oil. If we ever worked near rivers or streams we would always head to the shops and by tha cheapest cooking oil never had any problems, this always lubbed the chainsaws ok, just smelt like you had been working in a chippy at the end of the day.

 

cheapskate :quack: Christ Ed your bike will smell like a kebab shop, think of the flies that will gather around it every time you stop the bike.

 

...at least he'll be able to use those as the excuse now

 

you can get a digital one now that has a little screen and buttons an stuff tells you when your low an other bits an bobs,

= £200 and how you fit it i have no clue!!

 

is it oilless also

 

Apologies, couldn't resist

 

I have no clue what you mean!

 

Well if I typed whore in there somewhere you might understand it better, no?
