I originally bought a quart of Mobile 1 and a gallon of OMS. I mix it it 1 quart amounts in a metal solvent can and dispense it from a reused 4-oz ProLink bottle. I have used it for years and am still working off the original oil and OMS purchases.


Same here except Mobil 1 15/50, & thinned w/ a bit of some other chain lube that I think has some teflon in it. Using it less than a year but good so far.

Lasts much longer than the Prolink that I was using. No more messy, cheaper, & got radically better results in wear & friction tests- Prolink was practically the worst.
