Default Chain Saw Oil

Stickiness / anti-fling doesn't necessarily mean high viscosity.


And although the brands may not cross the pond well, proper bar and chain
oil is cheaper than motor oil (which my cheapo chain saw that I wore our
recommended). My Stihl came with a quart (well...liter) in a handy to use
squeeze bottle, which I've been refilling from the gallon of Homelite chain
oil I bought from the local DIY store to replace it. And yes, one of those
machines can hurt you. Don't go to a country doctor after nicking your leg
and expect sympathy!
