Engine oil is fine, lately I've been using it mixed 50:50 with chainsaw oil which clings to the links better.
Texture of the red (hi-temp - the only one we use in Serbian climate
) Scot Oil is the same as a chainsaw oil called "testerol", sold locally here. It looks, smells and feels the same under one's fingers. Haven't tried it yet in a scottoiler.I'd rather not pay more than I have to if I don't have to. Regardles of the difference. Will try engine oil.
I wouldn't try used engine oil - it is dirty, poisonous and bad for chains (all the acids built up during it's use). I've tried it on bicycle chains and it's good for nothing, except painting old wood, or burning in oil heaters.
Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.
