Bar & chain oil: Stihl vs Poulan

[Hermio]

Yes, I think we over think alot of this stuff. Its just to lubricate the chain and bar roller and help with friction heat. Do some have better tackiness or lubricity maybe. But from my own anecdotal experience it matters very little and at the prices the big names charge, it doesnt take long you can buy new bars and chains with the money saved with the store brands. But I am not convinced the big names are better and actually think they are not as good.

Project Farm did a test on that. Harvest King decisively beat the Stihl and Husqvarna oils.
