Chainsaw oil

If you ran out of oil first and didn't notice, you would do expensive damage. You're not going to run out of gas and not notice. So, if you fill both tanks each time, you're OK.

i for one am tired of slinging petrolium based oil all over the place. i am keenly interested in finding a good alternative to petrol bar oil. chainsaw bar oil is a total loss lubricant which means that all of it ends up going on the ground, the wood, the sawdust, your clothing, your skin, etc. for the sake of the environment and my health i have resolved that my next bar oil purchase will be something biodegradable i.e. veggie based. hopefully i will find something more economical than the $15 per gal stihl brand bio oil. i am still in the process of searching for suitable products on the net. one interesting thing i found is a thread on an online discussion board for professional arborists. i have not read all of it yet but there is at least one guy on there who says that he has used nothing but vegetable oil in his saws for years. check it out here:

Poulan oil at Walmart was about $3/gallon last time I checked. I wonder why you are paying more per liter than I do per gallon?

I am in the UK and the pack sizes are 1 litre. I suspect the problem is that chainsaws are not a common household item and are not catered for in retail outlets, but you have given me an idea. I will check out some trade outlets for larger pack sizes. Thanks.

Chainsaw? I wanna try it in my Grand Cherokee! With $2.00+ gasoline prices, we need all the help we can get! Thanks. That was a new one on me.

That was a good movie.

"Road House", with Patrick Swayze and Sam Elliott. Sam and Patrick in a bathroom and are reminiscing about some of the dives they have worked in and Sam says to him, "The urinals had a sign that says, Don't eat the big white mints!" Great movie!

IIRC, makes benzene. Burns sooty ... but it burns enough to keep the LOW compression engine in the Model A's (etc) lumbering along.

Don't even try it in any motor manufactured in the most recent 90 years.
