Not a secret to making wet lube. It can be better and far far cheaper.

If the PTFE settles out its a suspension not a solution, grumble, grumble.

I did like the bit where he said to carefully avoid jet washing bearings, over footage of him indiscriminately blasting everything in sight with a jet washer...

TBH a little dobber bottle with thinned motor oil in is handy for big days out/weekends away just in case a chain does start to run a bit dry or need a bit of emergency rust protection. But adding PTFE powder seems pretty pointless as it's still going to get washed out and/or mixed with gritty shite.

Motor oil flicks off and goes everywhere. Don't ask how I know.

Stihl Sawchain Oil for the win.
