Here is my simple gravity fed oiler. Im not willing to pay $200 for a set of ready made scott oiler.
Adding vales and sorts will just add to premature failure of the system and leaks.
How it works?
When I squeeze the bottle, the oil flows down the tube, but i stop when it is 3/4 down the hose. Upon release, Excess will be sucked back in to the reservoir and the remainder will drip onto the inner run of the chain. In this system, it drips really fast as there is nothing to resist the flow.
You will get flings but ive learn to deal with it.
Also, you will have to clean the chain at least once every 2-3weeks.
Editors tip,
Use 85-90w gear oil only as it maintains the best balance between cleanliness and protection.
Drip must land on the inner run of the chain to avoid flings.
