Best Bar Oil?

[Bob_z_l]

I'll stick to Gator Oil but I must admit that price is very keen.

Still using Rye oils finest👍, Barrel lasts about six months, can’t say there is any noticeable difference between that and the more expensive brands.

I've just started a 20 litre of Rye oils finest.

 

Also very much enjoying their Easing Oil LV in a pump bottle instead of WD40.

wd40 is crap these days, I worked in the automotive trade at one time and we often tried various fluids from reps stating all kinds of ridiculous claims their product was the market leader, they were all shite, I've broken a 3foot snap-on bar trying to crack hgv and even land rover wheel nuts, guy from snap-on could not believe it, but told me of a good penetrative solution they use on an american airbase he calls in on, gallon of ATF + gallon of acetone mix together and it will free just about any stuck nut/bolt . and it lasts for ages, just put a little in an oil can with the plunger and dribble a little , you can visible see it penetrating.  just remember to give it a good shake before every use as it separates after a while.

here's a pretty good article showing a comparison test.

I always preferred plusgas over wd40, If that didnt work then get the oxy torch out.

plus-gas was a good one too, I still have some of the original stuff, wd40 isn't even close .

200L over six months works out as a litre a day. A couple of big saws would easily gobble that up.

 

My previous 25L Rotatech oil, with still a couple litres left, was opened Jan '24.
