I'm not sure overoiling really exists unless you run out of oil before the fuel is exhausted. Is it dumping the oil too fast or are you just seeing oil running down the side of the bar and worrying?

Cut something?
Sorry, had ta be said.
There seems ta be a bunch of "Too muchy oil coming outta da saw!" questions coming up recently, some are obvious, others have me scratchin' my bald spot. The biggest question I have for most of these queries is...............ARE YOU CUTTING SOMETHING? I had a very dear friend, not a dumb one either, with a similar question, when it was all said and done we had put the saw into some real wood and low-and-behold, everything was fine. He was sitting in his garage reving the poor thing up and wondering where all the oil was coming from :bang: . Just my thot of the moment, maybe I'm wrong and stand to be corrected, ts'okay I'd like to hear some thoughts on different oils, winter is coming, I go to a slightly thinner oil then, or add a bit of whatever is thinner to the mix. In my wee saw I've been laboring under the assumption (yay ya, azz outta u and me lol) that the oiler would have to work harder with thicker oil in the winter, there-by stressing the oiling mechanism and maybe wearing out parts (knock on wood and pray). Just my thoughts on this greasey topic.
