Cold bar oil.

If you use the silver jug of Stihl bar oil it pores fine anytime and it best for the bar. We sell it for $18.99 a gal

What a ******* rip off!

Good to know. Thanks for sharing.
What makes the difference between bar oils, and along with that, cost?

Countyline bar oil is 7.99 at TS everyday. How much does a bar cost? You will save more money using cheaper oil and replacing the bar from time to time. Been using countyline bar oil for years and my bar last just as long.

Getting OT of which oil and back to the container, I started putting bar oil in an old Palmolive squirt bottles. I'd have one on the truck, garage, and shed. If I am doing a real job with big saws, I might put all 3 squirt bottles on the truck. One of my friends, that is a printer, saw them and thought it was a good idea and gave me some kind of Hazmat compliant squirt bottles they use. What I like is I can control the flow and never overflow the tank.

The loggers here buy the Silver, they say it stays on the chain and bar better. They don't use saws nearly as much as they use to. Tree shears do 90% of the felling I expect that is why they buy it now. They still use the long bars for the big trees.
Any good bar oil will do but for the high dollar bars and chains I truly believe it is better, and Stihl want even give me a hat unless I am in a class at stihl school lol

Neither. Just someone who has enough brains to know that Stihl bar oil is not twice as good as other brands just because it cost twice as much. Highway robbery. Enjoy the complimentary hat.

I cut about 100 cord this year using only one saw and bar and the bar is still going strong. I sometimes run the saw for several hours burning tank after tank and making long cuts noodling big rounds and cutting big logs. All of my wood is at least 24'' or bigger. I only use countyline bar oil at 7.99 a gallon. No way am I buying oil for twice as much when the cheap stuff does the job just fine.

Stihl makes pre mix gas at about $24.99 a gallon. That's nuts!!!

I do something similar when changing oil in small engines to refill.

Nice Idea Brother. I purchased that stuff Menards sells, I believe it was FVP, dear god it sucked. It was maybe 25deg, horrible. I will buy a better brand next time, for now, leave in truck while out in woods!

Yep, I agree. I splurge and buy Itasca bar oil at $10.99 a gal. It seems like a heavier weight oil than TSC.

I don't like the smell of diesel, so I thin basic bar oil up to about 20% with kerosene for cold weather use.

This is a special issue with electric and battery powered saws, which don't have combustion to heat the oil. But, since they don't contain gas, I can bring the saws and oil inside, overnight, to start out warm.

+1 on converting 'no-spill' laundry jugs for oil.

Canola oil here. Would use it even if wasn't the cheapest by a country mile.

I use to use laundry jugs but it's just a mater of being a little more careful when pouring.

 

[greenskeeper]

WMO in my saws...flow at almost any temperature....and practically "free"

 

[Sandhill Crane]

What is WMO?

 

[Trapper_Pete]

WMO Waste Motor Oil , it sounds better as an acronym.

 

[artbaldoni]

WMO and TSC bar oil. 50/50. No issues.

Thought I was reading the motorcycle forum oil thread there for a minute...
