I was cutting some trees this weekend and as I was putting in the bar oil, I was wondering what vehicle grade oil it was similar to. Anybody know?
I'm guessing it overheated, which could cause that.MUSKYMAN said:I explained what happened and he said I should toss the chain because it will never hold a edge as well again.
It's the motor and drive mechanism that costs $1000.00, not the bar and chain which is the part that gets lubed by the oil. Sure the engine will start on the first pull, but it won't cut worth shit with shitty bar oil.paidtodrive said:Staight from the mouth of the Arborist crew at the Biltmore Estate (they have a lot of trees on those 8000 acres), "We've used canola oil on our $1000 saw for two years w/ no problems."
Can't get much cheaper or environmentally sensative. Sounds like win-win to me.
