We’re gettin a Rural King in Glasgow, KY! What is “Cam 2”?

An oil brand. Not bad stuff used to run it in cars/trucks. I've not seen it around here in years.

I run a 50/50 blend of summer weight bar oil and canola oil during the cold months (sub 40°F). It runs fine and I have had no lingering problems. Maybe it's because I'm using the saws regularly, maybe because it's mixed, maybe because canola oil does not cause problems. It works for me, so I see no reason to change it.

I’ll see if they have it and their prices when they open up here! Thanks!

No fine Scotch and Irish whiskey. If you don't want to be a pedophile the 18 year old McCallum or 21 year old Bushmills

I do like a good strong IPA with plenty of hops. Founders Centennial is a good choice

I like fine Scotch!!
And the hoppier the better on ipa’s!

It’s the brand of oil. Never had a complaint, all season.

Some say used motor oil is the cheap ticket---I like and use straight bar oil. I use bow saws often and get excellent life on chain and bars...David
