Rotatech chain oil

[Karldg]

I’m in need of some new oil and wondered if this is worth buying and value for money?

Try eBay, half the time it's cheaper than going direct unless you're in Sheffield I guess as it's added postage.

 

Gator is usually cheaper tho.

I’ve been using it for quite some time now and it seems good. A decent price when buying 25 litre barrels.

I didn't get on with rotatech bar oil (and I have posted here about it).  It caused my bar sprockets to seize up which has been quite expensive to resolve.

 

If you are still keen I'll give you a good price for the 17 odd litres I have left?

I was using super sexy chain oil  then when that ran out I bought gator chain oil off Ebay. Cheap as chips and does the job.  Think was 38.00 plus vat ish per 25ltr drum. I just order 100ltr a time so always have it

I've bought some of this on recommendation here but not used it yet

Used both Gator ET30 and Rye Oil. Liked the Gator more as is definitely a sticky (non flingy) oil.

Buying direct from website I seemed to remember was cheaper. As 25l from their site and same price for 20l on ebay.

Yep. Never found it much of a problem. Oil tank is ally on the 261 and gets a bit of residual heat from engine/exhaust. Thought that helped.
