using new oil on a chain?

[nathandenniso...]

I know as a lube you can use old engine oil on your chain, but can I use new oil as I have no old oil? thanks

[fiery tupp]

Of course you can & probably better as it's cleaner

I have been using new 10w40 oil on my chain for months now and never had any problems. I just filled an empty (and clean!) Fairy Liquid bottle and just apply as needed. Only downside with using oil is that it is bloody messy after a ride!

I've got new engine oil left over from the last oil change in my scottoiler - its working a treat. Sooooooo much cheaper than spray on lube

if you use new oil, get Tesco value... it is nice and thick and nice and cheap (for oil!)

And there's always chainsaw oil which is nice and sticky.
