Is it ok to take my chain off and leave it in a tub of a mixture of fresh fork oil and old engine oil?

Bit late to ask now but it won't damage it? Not sure about fork oil is all.

Won't need to heat oil, it was the tins of grease that you needed to heat on the stove so it would soak in thoroughly. Wink

I was just wondering as I don't know anything about for oil, whether it was like brake fluid or something that reacts with everything

cheers Karma

Do not cook O ring chains. It destroys the O rings.

Indeed.

Still would smell nice if he did heat it up.
