best BAR-n-CHAIN oil

Bar and chain oil

Don't know about half the brands you guys are talking about. but I don't see why pay a lot for oil you are basically just putting on the ground so I go with the cheap #### harvest king bar and chain it works and I get it in 2 gallon jugs for 9.99 at the local Big R store here in the Montana area

I like Green Earth Technologies - G-OIL® - Bar & Chain

All American Biodegradable and works as well as the Husqvarna Oil I still use occasionally.
(When I say it works "As Well" as the Husqvarna oil I mean I cant tell the difference)

i use that stuff from that place i buy it from. it's cheaply expensive and works mostly.

We use this if we're working by a pond or garden

Old engine oil strained through a pair of ladies nylons to filter out the metal chunks, obviously. :msp_biggrin:

Only if it's synthetic - you don't want to cheese out with the cheap stuff!

18.99 for bar oil:bang: there is no need to spend that much or even use just Stihl oil. If you want good tacky oil use Itasca its about $7-$9 a gallon

I've been using the Itasca in cooler weather - it seemed to be thinner than the TSC stuff, but that was just an impression not something I quantified. One of the local big box auto stores carries it.

I have never used Husky or Stihl Bar/Chain oil.

My question to somebody that has used both..

Is there a diffrence?

 

[w8ye]

Neither makes their own oil

Its great but the shipping makes it not worth buying

No one has mentioned echo bar oil. how does this bar oil stack up to the others?

I mentioned it on the first page. Our company buys Echo oil in 55 gallon drums and it works fine its just as good as all the others out there,nobody has burned up any bars using it

Last summer I was buying Stihl in 5 gallon pails for about $52.00. Quit running it as soon as it cooled off, but it is good stuff when it gets above 80F or so. Price has probably jumped by now though...

is there a product out there to run through your oil tank to clean oiling system or is that not needed?

A few weeks ago I was riding my four wheeler on the power lines and I found a branded new gallon jug of husky oil! I went back the next day to look for the file an screech, which I could not locate; although, I did did a second jug that looked like it filled one tank! They looked like they had been left there since last fall. So, I will be using husky bar and chain oil for a while!

i use the master mechanic bar oil,,, stays very fluid even if it gets 10 degrees out,, has plenty of tack to it,, only draw back its 20.00 gallon,,, so what i do is trading with my echo tech friend for it,,, i built him a cs-400 a while back for 2 gallons of it, not bad for 1 1/2 hours worth of work

I rinse tanks out with two stroke mix, when they need it like once in awhile and always with new to me saws. You can cut some regular bar oil with some diesel or kerosene and then run it, just one tank, maybe 10%. That should clean it all out good.

As to a specific branded product for that purpose..never heard of any.

Yes but it pays if you make a big order with your neighbor
