Actually ... I got rid of the scottoiler quite some time ago.

I suspect that the single cilinder vacuum pulses make it hard to tune the oil flow. I did use the red oil: the blue oil almost flushed through!

I do ride off-road/unpaved roads quite a lot and sand combined with too much oil make a nice grinding paste...

... so I returned to the occasional (once in 500km) manual chain lubrication and chain life went up to almost 20,000km's , instead of 15.000km.
