I put a moly paste on every new bar, on its first start up use,
+1 thinning with kerosene.The last bar oil I purchased was from NAPA it was cheap.
For cutting in the winter I was thinning the bar oil with kerosene.
Is there a green friendly bar oil?
So many sides to this issue. Just 10 minutes of research and a quick look through the American Cancer Society web site, provides some revelation. It seems that WOOD DUST is a proven carcinogen. I didn't see a whole bunch on used oil, but that probably is also if a person drinks enough of it. So,,,,,,down the hatch!! CheersThe main thing is that it is oil of some sort, as far as bar wear I can't comment between bar oil & plain engine oil because I've never bought or used bar oil, saying that I've got a bar that would have at least 500hrs on it using new engine oil & it's nowhere near worn out yet.
I'd be happy to use anything but definitely not used engine oil as that is a proven carcinogen, there was thousands apon thousands of litres of oil buried in the bush from when oil changes on machinery in logging operations were dropped into a trench dozed in the ground & then covered up, soil microbes quickly digest oil as found out in the Exxon Valdez oil spill , not to say everyone should be spraying oil everywhere but the environment can cope with microscopic amounts such as bar lube absorbed into sawdust very easily,
I wonder how much a 55 gallon drum costs for a high end user?

Pick up a gallon this mornin for 8.57.Walmart was up to almost $12/gal.
BUT their website has it for $9.35, so I ordered 25 gallons.
I'm guessing Alaska and SC PA are different markets.Pick up a gallon this mornin for 8.57.

I know you from other forumsYes why?
When I was doing firewood full time I always wanted to purchase gear oil, motor oil, bar oil in 55 gallon drums I just never got around to it.
Keep looking cuz I just found it again.. A. C. S./what causes cancer from A the Z.. I'm not going to be a smart ass.. Just way too easy for me.. But I won't shy away from a good discussion..I couldn't find anything in the ACS site. Could you provide a link? Elsewhere (NIOSH) I found studies that showed a mild increased risk for nasal carcinoma in workers exposed to wood dust, as well as a lesser risk for Hodgkin's disease. There was no clear evidence between effects of hardwood vs. softwood. The case for used motor oil is pretty well founded though, because carcinogenic aromatic combustion products as well as heavy metal combustion products have been specifically found in used motor oil. I'd wear gloves when changing oil in cars and small 4-cycle engines.
