"Scottoil" Scottoiler oil - Red

Replacement RED oil for Scottoiler chain oilers.

The Scottoil refills do NOT include a replacement oil filler tube that is included with the Scottoiler kits.

Scottoiler Oil Types

Scottoiler systems are precision devices, designed to consistently deliver very small quantities of oil continuously. To ensure the systems function as designed, we recommend you use only one of the Scottoiler oils as they do not contain any additives that may harm the chain O-rings and no "tack" additives that will stick road dirt to the chain.

There are three types of Scottoiler oils available.

Scottoiler Biodegradable Oil - Verde

This oil was introduced in 2022 and has a constant viscosity 0-40°.

Scottoiler Standard Oil - Blue

The Standard oil is the original oil supplied with Scottoiler kits and is appropriate for northern european climates(0-20°C).
It can be used all year round but during the higher summer temperatures the flow rate may have to be reduced due to the reduced viscosity of the oil.

Scottoiler High Temperature Oil - Red

The High Temperature oil has a higher viscosity for use in warmer climates (20°-40°).
It can be used all year round but in the lower winter temperatures the flow rate may have to be increased to compensate for the increased viscosity.

The High Temperature oil was introduced when Scottoilers were first being exported to warmer climates and were delivering too much oil on the minimum setting. The current systems are now much improved and the flow rate can be precisely controlled, rendering the choice of blue/red oil far less important.

In northern Spain and Galicia we recommend the blue oil, for southern Spain/Canary Islands the red oil is more suitable all year round.

Due to the extremes of temperature that many parts of Spain experience during the year, many people opt to change the oil during the year when appropriate. The types can be mixed but may separate due to the different viscosities so its better to change oils when the tank is nearly empty.
