Chain oil

[peatff]

I went to a local oil supplier last week for some hydraulic oil and noticed a sign on the counter, chain oil 5ltr for £8 Aztec oils at Bolsover. I picked some up and it looks nice and tacky.

Which one have you tried the 100 150 or 200? How do you find it?

I think the 150, will check tomorrow. Seems good.

Reading this, was there ever a consensus of opinion as to the best chain oil? The way I read this thread is "I use this oil and it works for me"... but as to the best one?

 

The reason I ask should be obvious that I ran out today. I use my saws to cut my firewood and so don't get through anywhere near needing 25, 50 or 100 litre barrels... thinking 5l for me is loads. Normally I would pass the Stihl dealer on my commute which is handy, but no commute now, so ordering online this weekend perhaps. Online order and I can get anything. Other option is B&Qs of course.....

Anything will do mate. Even motor oil in a pinch.

Clark forest super tac bio. If you use your saws a lot then it's amazing. If you are an occasional user it needs cleaning out before storage or you have a world of problems.

 

I used it for years as any work near  water on a sssi required it. So it was always going through the saw. It was also very cheap and next day delivery. 

 

Now I use husqvarna chain oil. The 25l container is vented so pouring is easy. Clings nicely to the bar and lubricated the chain well. Prefer it to the stihl semi synth and Oregon.

Only buy in 5L qtys. Was surprised to find Screwfix sell 5L Oregon bar oil at 15 quid a go - about as cheap as online prices.....

I use rapeseed oil mainly (use Clarke’s bio-oil for the 880 when milling).
 

I will never again use mineral oil, as who wants to be covered with the stuff and inhale the particles ? Besides, what a waste of a finite resource and money too

@trigger_andy what’s funny about not wanting to be covered in mineral oil & inhaling it in aerosol form every day. You have a special lubed up fetish with oil cos you work in the industry or your just plain dumb?

I,ve always used Morris chain oil but its really expensive so have tried local agri store(TFM)own branded stuff and seems good and its £9.46 for 5 litres,or £45.00 for 25iltres

£1.23 per L for 100 grade.
