Has anyone tried alternatives for lubricating your chain!!!!

[unfazed]

Just wondering if anyone has used vegetable oil to lube their chain?? I normally used engine oil but i run out last week so i thought i would give it a try! just been over a week now & normally with engine oil it would of sounded as if it was dry by now but with the veggie oil it still feels smooth & sounds really quiet. Am i risking my chain because its not a proper oil???


What are your thoughts guy's??

You were risking it much more with used engine oil as it has a high acid content and not good for the O-rings, used engine oil is only useful for burning to heat garages, fresh vegetable oil has to be an improvement.  It is fresh is it?
Would not fancy getting it on my rear tyre though.  :rolleyes
