Looking for chain oil and two stroke oil. Currenty got an ms261 that I'll be using for my course but looking to buy 5L or so tubs so I have plenty in the future when I get started.

Well any chainsaw dealer probably . But if you want it sent there are some on here who do mail order . Look through the sponsored adds .

Get a couple of 5l tubs of chain oil, but probably go for 1litre 2 stroke oil - that'll make 51 litres of mix.

For bigger quantities try Rye oil but for 5l your local dealer, get a good working relationship with them and in most cases you will receive good service and prices in return for loyalty

Unless you're buying large amounts from a dealer and get a great discount, I've been buying via eBay Rotatech 25l or Gator 20l.

 

When you include delivery it's cheaper than going direct. £2 - 2.15 per litre

It amazes me that that people buy chain oil in such small quantities. It doesn't go off. I'm only a freelance climber (and don't use very much) and buying 25l drums still seems fiddly considering I have the space for a 210l drum. Now questioning why I haven't done that actually...

I'm constantly amazed when firms that have the space to store a chipper, stump grinder, two trucks etc turn up with 2l and 5l bottles from saw shops. Ridiculously expensive and inconvenient. I'd be wanting tanker deliveries like heating oil if I ran an outfit of any size.

 

TL;DR - Buy the largest quantity you can store. More is usually cheaper per litre.

Have used Gator oil for over 4 years just get it delivered so no running about for it.

I have never bought any less than 100ltrs of chain oil or 5ltrs of 2 stroke oil for many years now, just find it so much easier to by in bulk and try to get a better deal on it even if i have to buy more than i want to get the deal, cant be doing with running about for small amounts of chain oil /2 stroke oil, when we get to last 25ltr drum of chain oil i just order more,

Same as me, was buying Rotatech super sexy but was finding it a bit not tacky enough so just taken delivery of 40 litres of Gator ET 50 which I'm hoping will cling like I remember it used to.

It was slightly cheaper dealing with Gator oils direct over ebay and a very good speedy service into the bargain and free delivery over £50👍

They are not gonna turn up to a job with a 210L drum of chain oil even if they have one back at the yard . Ever thought they might decant it ?
