Anyone used chainsaw oil in a scottoiler.it's getting expensive scott oil or is it me being a tight arse.to me chainsaw oil looks to be the same stuff but you can get 5 litres for the price of 1 litre of scott oil.any feed back would be great good or bad.cheers tony.

used it for the last couple of fills seems ok (thumbs)
I'm sure the right tight wads will be along shortly to recommend other types

cheers vince (thumbs)

Any oil will work in a Scottoiler. The advantage with chainsaw oil (and slideway oil which is what I use) is that it has an adhesive component that acts as "anti-fling".

The disadvantage of the adhesive component is that it looks dirty whereas plain oil like a multigrade or monograde will be nice and clean.

A mate of mine uses saw oil poured on from a bottle and swears by it, I'm sure there must be technical differences but to most of us it's just oil for chains, cheaper by the gallon too and you can get bio-degradeable chain-saw oil

use oil I uh "obtain" probably not perfect but its free therefore negates possible slight extra chain wear, tight Welshman see.

Used it for years but I squirt a bit of WD40 in with it to try and thin it out a little.

Well I am glad to see its not just me.thank all you tight arse.lol (thumbs)

I read recently that 'Rock Oil' chainsaw oil is 'very similar' to scottoil, costs about £18/5L.

ONLY IF ITS ANTI FLING TONY, FED UP OF GETTING COVERED IN IT!

The cheapest ATF I can find, usually in a 25l container in the bus garage about 10m from me :whistle:
