Are they any good for bar oil Vince, or do you just use them for fuel?

I still spill bar oil like a baby sometimes.

I had one of those green no spill spouts, but didn't read the instructions on the back of the pack, couldn't get it to work and broke it accidentally. ...the shop felt sorry for me and gave me another one.

Use a squeezy bottle of some sort.
Dishwashing liquid bottles can be ok, I used a 1l gulf western bar oil bottle for ages until the lid broke last week.
Doesn't stop you spilling bar oil when you fill the small bottle, and it's not much use on a big saw - 1l isn't going to get you far. Great for small saws though.

Naa fuel only.
It might work with the thin Stihl oil.
I like the 4l thin bar oil container the best so far for bar oil. Can get in there well and doesn't pour out fast like the old white containers.

Still prefer these.

Obviously cheaper to buy 2 at a time Vince who did you buy them off in the US and what were they worth if you don't mind me asking

Thinking out aloud here, but would the car transmission top up bottles with the pull out nozzle work? Dunno if the lid would screw on to bigger bottles?

eBay. Even buying 2 the shipping was still dearer. [emoji37] but less than a quarter of the price of that husky one [emoji13]

Same bottle as the gulf western bar oil bottle.

Honestly I've changed a few things trying to get better bar life and one of them was not using gulf western bar oil anymore.
I'm getting much better bar life using the stihl thin bar oil, so I'm not going to change. I just can't be sure that changing bar oil is what made the difference or not.

ive been using the Husky oil, and find its ok, but know some one that does use g/western, the western does feel more tacky than the husky oil

Guys had larger dawgs/spikes lying around slapped em on my 038 and they don't line up! Any ideas?
