I used to use Stihl oils to my local dealer closed.

Now I buy 25l tubs from ebay of Gator oil. 
Does seem stickier as it is transferred to 5l bottles. Plus is cheaper than the equivalent 5 x Stihl. Plus Plus....it's delivered in a day or two...no fuss.

I use Rye Oil pure rapeseed oil off ebay - 25 litres for £48.  Seems fine to me, specially when I'm sawing over water.  In the bad old days I used old engine oil, filtered through fine paint strainers, bit of a faff, but free.  Cheap is cheerful for me for chain oil!  My chains only need chucking when the cutters are done and they don't slacken in the meantime.  Haven't bought a new bar in years.

Forgot to mention when I said about rapeseed oil, I do get one problem with it.  It's pretty thin, which is fine except that it leaks through the pump and out, even when you're not using the saw.  Not a lot, but enough to notice.

Otherwise, it's good.  I'm cutting a lot of rhododendron and holly right now, that have grown right across a stream and rooted on the other side, poxy stuff.  Quite happy to stand in the stream using the saw - no more of that colourful topping on the water from the chain oil.
