Long chain molecule oil?
Does any one know how to make Long chain molecule oil?
I want it for my bicycle. I commute quite a bit and most bicycle chain oil does not lost more than a week or two.
I need something that will stay in the chain.

Have you considered petroleum jelly?

A "longer chain of oil" would be a tar, or a wax, and wax is what's in T9:

Rapopart’s Rules for critical commentary:
1. Attempt to re-express your target’s position so clearly, vividly and fairly that your target says: “Thanks, I wish I’d thought of putting it
that way.”
2. List any points of agreement (especially if they are not matters of general or widespread agreement).
3. Mention anything you have learned from your target.
4. Only then are you permitted to say so much as a word of rebuttal or criticism.

Mix your chain oil with STP, available everywhere automotive products are sold.

T9 is a rip off as most chain oils are. the only one I would pay money for the Chin-L but even that most be re-lubed after riding in the rain.
I can say exactly how they make it, but it is additive. At first I though of cooking it to thicken it up. But I know nothing about chemistry.
What makes the molecules adhere to them selves.
Does STP actual work?

Try Lucus. It's like honey oil. Sticks like honey too.

It is a secret formula to make longer chain oil?

Actually MAKING a long chain oil would be highly impractical, really. I'd guess if you were to start with a long chain alkene, with a double bond in
the end... React it with water, then oxidize it all the way to carboxylic acid... you'd get a long chain fatty acid. React 3 moles of this with 1 mole
of glycerol, you'd have your oil.
Easier said than done, however.
I'd suggest buying something as opposed to making it.

I discovered that i had the secret ingredient in my paint making supplys. aluminum hydroxide or stearate.
Then I went to the car parts and found that STP oil treatment uses Zinc Dialkyl Dithiophosphate (ZDDP) as an anti-wear agent that also works like the
aluminum hydroxide powder.
