No personal experience, but it's been used by others on here...however I don't recall if they were delivering via a Scottoiler

Yes, chainsaw oil is perfect for the Scottoiler due to it's anti fling properties. I got 30+k out of my last chain and sprockets and only used chainsaw oil.

According to Scottoiler their oil is low tack. It is designed to work itself into the chain and 'flush' out dust and dirt rather than creating an grinding paste. Everybody riding behind me can vouch for that. (Yes, I should turn it down but my chain looks lovely!)
Chainsaw oil does the opposite. I don't deny its working for you, Muddy. It just shouldn't.

OK, calling it perfect was a bad choice of words. It's ideal if you want a cheap alternative. And there are lots of riders who use it to good effect, which is why I started using it. I tend to use the n=1 positives (anecdotal evidence) as an indicator if something works or not and chainsaw oil works, even if it isn't perfect.

@Muppdog
I'm glad you brought up the point about tackiness, it rung a bell and made me think. I got given some CS oil by a friend who's a landscaper and it has not worked so well as the stuff I bought previously. It does tend to be overly sticky. So I looked up if others have this problem and the do. It seems there are certain, usually semi synth, oils that have better properties, so not all CS oils are the same. My mates stuff is too gluey, so I'll be chucking it and getting some Stihl semi

Just a quick update to this thread, there is now a new Scottoiler The Scottoiler xSystem it’s a electrical oiler that auto turns on / off I have had one fitted for the last 1000 miles and have to say it’s a revelation.

 

check it out so easy to fit.

I fitted one of those to my Tenere nearly 3 years ago. Worked fine with the pouchy reservoir for touring. Wasn't easy to fit as quite chunky. Disintegrated after 2 years. Not sure if it was material failure or some hard riding off road that caused it. Gone back to the original Scotoiler as on all my bikes. Gravity is a beautiful thing.

I have one of the "lube tube" things in my shed unused if anyone needs one, it's basically an extension tank to the regular scottoiler.

I opted for a Loobman oiler when I got the TDM. I had the basic Scottoiler on my Dominator and worked ok but I had to de-clog it a few times. I haven had to touch the very Heath-Robinson Loobman yet in 7 years except for feeding through the cable-tie oil feeder about once a year. I like simple things, hence the 3vd 😆. I use cheap engine oil in the winter and EP 90 in the summer, works a treat.
