...because it would. CHAIN Oil is a type of petrolueum distallate. Its visocity is by design. Its the proper oil for the job......and any "invented" substitutes are of an odd, albiet creative mind.
I used a 025 from 2002 until 2020. Heated my house with it for several years. Never an issue. The only adjustment to the carb was to lower the idle. Fresh 91 oct. fuel stihl oil and a few new spark plugs.
So glad it wasn't "bar studs nuts"
Site member Walt Galer, who was a engineer for Windsor claimed that Hydraulic oil worked better than thick bar oil.
Might also point out that bar oilnis all over the place in regards to viscosity and tackiness.
Spoken like a dedicated woodsman. Your care of your chainsaw should be the routine standard. Hopefully it will, going forward.Great comment!
"I've read" is the same as, I have nothing to do but keyboard my boredom......we are all entitled to our opinion; just NOT entitled to our own facts.
As we all know, fellas, here are 2 types of the product. The quality is based on the mfger. I have no preference, as paper labels from several different brands, can be applied to thousands of the same jug. I am presently using ECHO, which is called and "all-season"?
This is priceless!
Thats correct. All the more reason to buy a jug that says, Chainsaw Bar Oil on it. The tack property of a given brand is easily found on the OSHA label...and its in there. I like the way this thread has blossumed from using free stuff, to maintaining our chainsaws, with the commonsense the operation demands.
Farm and fleet had mystic bar oil for $7.00 gal while back, bit on the thin side of sumer only, but tad thicker then pisswater winter stuff. I've bought a few cases of it. Been using it without any issues.
summer winter, now keep in mind its fairly mild around here, but also, the oil reservoir is under the exhaust... it warms up some not like a lot but some so I question the need for "winter" weight oil, if its flowing, its flowing, and honestly a thicker oil lasts longer and works better so you end up using less over all
My advice would be to get rid of those Stihls and buy a good saw like an Echo, and forget all these problems, I've read about 4 of the 9 pages of this, and sir/neighbor in my opinion you are the "prick" who won't listen to what the people who know something are trying tell (help) you. Personally I'm done reading any more about this. Good luck to you.
Well thanks for being another *******. In my opinion you didn't read the MOST IMPORTANT PART WHICH WAS WHAT I ALREADY DIAGNOSED PRICK and that I ASKED A VERY SPECIFIC QUESTION PRICK so have a nice day neighbor prick
