Gas_Up_Lets_Go is on a distinguished road
There are a couple of things;

1) the oil flows more during warmer weather, so the same setting one week might well let more oil through the next.

2) Two types of oil, blue oil for cool/cold weather and red oil for warm weather. Red oil is thicker and flows slower in hot weather.

Scottoilers are brilliant money saving gizmo's, but you do have to keep on top of the adjustment.

knock it back a notch and keep an eye on the flow, if it looks too much, then knock it back again. As the weather cools (into winter) start to increase the flow.

You will always get some splatter, that's a big plus point of the system, it washes away crud/crap/salt/sand etc - better than a new chain & sprocket every 10,000 miles.

08 Tenere, still on original chain & sprocket after 24k miles.......
