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!



Cue old joke, slightly modified -

If you slip and cut your leg off with that thing, don't come running to me!
