The TUTORO Auto is a very popular automatic chain oiling device with a completely unique ground breaking self actuating system.
Beautifully engineered and constructed from the highest grade materials the TUTORO Auto pushes up the industry benchmark for quality and smart design. Its unique autonomous self-actuation system negates the need to connect it to any of your motorcycles electrical or vauum sysetms - it operates by utilising the normal inertia and mottion changes that every motorbike is subject to, so no batteries required either.
You can use just about any oil you like with this system - Unlike some other brands it does not gunge up with thicker oils or with oils with anti-fling additives.
The Auto reservoir is approx 100mm long and 45mm in diameter.
The TUTORO Auto is suitable for DIY installation and takes 45 minutes or less to do so. No specialist tools or knowledge is required, the only thing you need is a little imagination and a good look at your bike to decide where best to fit it,

What Oil should you use: We recommend our Cling-on Summer and Winter Chain Syrup or or use a GL1 grade gearbox mineral oil.
Warning
Avoid Ester based oil, Polyglycol oil and oil containing additives such as Molybendum disulfide (moly) or graphite as some of these additives can attack rubber O'rings in your chain or the materials the Tutoro chain oiler is made from.
Never, ever use automatic transmission fluid (ATF) in n your oiler!, some variants have all sorts of nasty toxins that can destroy plastics, some even corrode brass!
Don't use EP Gearbox oils! these can make the Auto oilers cap swell, this can cause the Acrylic* reservoir to crack when the cap is forced into the top of the reservoir! If you have been using this don't try to force the cap to fit but order a new cap, drain the oiler and switch to using a TUTORO oil or use a GL1 grade gearbox mineral oil. The additives in EP oil will also corrode brass.
How much oil should you use: Generally in the summer warm dry months with little rain you will need less oil than in the winter where rain will wash off the oil in short order. For a TUTORO Auto expect summer use to be a fill approx every 1200 - 1600 kilometres. I know some users have gone 2500 kilometres on a fill but a lot depends on the time spent covering those miles - ie you cover a lot more miles on a motorway in a day than you do on small back roads but the time in the saddle is the same.
During the Winter months when the temperatures remain below 25° C and rain is all too frequent, the amount of oil you should use will need to increase in order to offer any sort of protection to your chain and sprockets.
