Some of you know, and some dont ! that i fitted a Scottoiler onto "nicole" two weeks ago along with a new chain.
Well i've just broken the 1000k mark and the chain is still all clean and lubed to perfection. Only used about half of the 1st fill of oil, approx 25ml or so? and as its only $16.00 for a litre, cheaper than those spray cans i used to use! and this stuff is just set and forget.
But the biggest plus !! 1000k on a new chain and it still doesn't need any adjustment ! its the same as if i put it on yesterday. So it may just do as the book says........ can extend chain and sprocket life up too 6 times I'll post the pics soon !!
