Now here's a hot late-nite topic. I was using the Bailey's bio-bar-oil today, cutting alligator juniper, and the combined smells were so perfect I nearly fell over in a faint...Oh yeah, and the good old Mobil 1 syntho mix as well...
 
I have been running Baileys bio and straight canola alot lately, and I like the smell. THough it makes me kind of hungry all the time.

For some reason, that stuff sure seems to keep the bars clean. My brother's crew now runs the bio totally (for over a year), and he says the same thing about keeping their bars clean.

Time will tell on the whether bars hold up as well, but I actually am feeling good about the decision to switch. On the odd occasion I am taking extreme cuts, like today in a nasty 48 inch oak stump with the bar buried, I cheat and run the stihl dino bar oil just for good measure. Haven't quite broken the old habit, I guess.

But until something bad happens, it's mostly bio for me now. I feel it's the right thing to do.

I think you have been in the woods a bit too long.
Your starting to frighten me.


You don't need to worry until he starts splashing it on before going out for the evening :laugh:
 
Dammittt....I nearly broke my ribs laughing at this one...But I do admit I like the smell of the husky xp two stroke oil....I've never noticed a smell from my bar oil
 
You guys need to sharpen your chains! All I smell is wood chips! Lots of them.
 
Spilled some (a lot!) bio oil a few days ago.. damn near had to drag the store dog off it.. She still goes back to lick the floor... hmmm...

You better hope the EPA dont start requiring us to use old pork chop grease to oil our bars, That dog will chew your chain apart and eat your oil tank.

The base may be canola, but I wonder what other nasty stuff is in there in terms of eating.

Dogs can teach us alot. Not big worriers or ones to feel sorry for themselves. But not much to admire the way my old dog would drag his tongue over the floor when he even suspected something good had been dropped.
 
I'd have to say leftover sausage gravy from breakfast. Keep a couple biscuits in your pocket and have your lunch while your cutting. Watch your hands on that chain though.:laugh: :laugh:

I think the regular Stihl orange bottle bar oil smells like dead fish, or when you had the beer goggles on the girl you ....well we just won't go there. but yah you get my point
 
Hey

If IPONE starts making chain oil use that... the twostroke oil is 100% synthetic and smells like strawberries when pouring and when its burning....

Im not sure I get your point, are you saying you like the smell of the dead fish oil? Or should you avoid the smell of dead fish?
 
Never sniffed my bar oil too much, but I love the smell of Cam2 race fuel or Klotz oil. Everyone's chainsaw should smell like a stock car!


If you like the smell of Klotz oils,
try the BENOL racing 2-stroke.
You'll never go back to anything else.
It's heavenly. :angel:

Klotz in all 2-strokes. But I will have to try BENOL. Where do you get it?


Ive got mine at a motorcycle dealership.
This particular one was a Honda dealer.
Try a dealership that may sell high performance bikes.
Let your fingers do the walking. (call first)

KLOTZ BENOL !! :rock:
 
The only time I smell bar oil is when I'm sharpening or changing bars or chains. But, usually the bar oil smell is outdone by gas. Otherwise, it's all wood.

I never smelled bar oil before I ran the bio. Now there is a very slight smell, and I think maybe I can smell it because I start and stop saws a fair amount during certains processes, and with the saw off the gas smell stops and slightly warm chain still puts out a soft smell. Not unpleasant.
