Scottoiler users....

I've had them on my past 10 bikes, and I find the single injector needs quite a high flow of oil to get to the inside of the chain. That normally means you get a load on your wheel/tyre.

I do as some others on here, once a month I manually coat the chain in engine oil. I find Scottoil a bit too thin, so i don't use it anymore.  I just put engine oil in it, much better!

I also open up the brass nozzle slightly in the end of the reservoir when using engine oil,it helps with bleeding the system, and gives better control.

So after reading all the comments it's best to assume that using NEW engine oil would be the cheapest and maybe best solution. some basic mineral oil from ASDA or the like.I use my bike all year long but mostly 3 days a week so but funnily enough the last 3 wettest months ever i've ridden it 5 days a week, through flooded roads. I've been using spray chain and cable oiler which i found(Nicked) at work, so messy but doing the job. My Scotoiler is off at the mo due to damaged parts but i hope to replace those soon and resume normal play.
