Another chain oil question??

Hi, if the Diff oil is Ep90 or equivalent, the extreme pressure addatives present in the oil are not very pleasant when breathed in. The thickness of the oil is about right, the chain oil we make is 150 C/S which is the same as a SAE 90. The diff oil wont have the same anti wear and tacky addatives which prevent excessive wear on the chain and bar.

In short it would work in the short term but I would not recommend it.

 

so is there an additive that can be added to it for the tacky side and wear side?

 

Thank you for the welcome I shall do my best to answer any queries.

I have been blending Lubricants for almost 20 years so hopefully I can work out most things :biggrin:

Hi Rich the antiwear addative is easy, the hard thing would be mixing the tacky addative in, as its name suggests it is very very sticky and you generally need heat and a good stirrer to mix it all together. We could certainly get some to you but I obviously couldnt guarantee the results.
