I got Action to fit mine while a service was being carried out. I agree that I too only use the first 5 or 10 degrees of the full 270 or so available (Fully open is used to prime the system, but other than that, I don't know who would use anything in between as it would give every chain on a ride day a good oiling with that splattered drips....)
I have found (also with trial and error) the setting where it oils at a good rate but I don't have any excess splattering to speak of. Maybe it also has to do with the fine adjustment of where the oiler sits in relation to the chain - too big a gap, and it will splatter every time, even if it was only one drop every thousand ks!
Anyway, I'm happy with it, but am unable to comment as to any extension in chain life.
