knuckles that was a question not a statement.
Directed not just to you but the community at large.
I'll take it you are in the oil the shite outta them camp.
But if you want I can stir the shit pot with the best of them.
Because of my lifestyle I've gotten a boatload of experience with sprockets and chains.
Others (5twins) that use the older non-sealed chain that is a whole different game.
We can read (at least I have) different opinions on this.
I'm waiting for the person that can say I applied used oil to my chain and it lasted half a million miles (ok tongue in cheek exaggeration there)
or the person that says I applied used motor oil and deteriorated my o rings prematurely.
I have never heard personal experience but talking heads usually promoting their product.
Now to Fred.
I guess I should have clarified "do you want to put used oil vapor on an o-ring chain".
I didn't ask about new oil of any variety.
And if I wanted a automatic chain oiler Vermeer has some nice units on their balers I could rob in any ag scrap yard a lot cheaper than
the price of a scottoiler. That is
your Mr. Cheapo tip of the day.
Please take note of the picture. Some are lubed quite often and you better cause they are NOT sealed units.
And I have been the route of cheap but for prolonged chain life a new oil (90W gear oil) is best for me.
Whatever the chain is driving.
Note to Travis. I like the new software notice of additional posts. Gives me a chance to review before I hit post reply.
