It's mainly a con I think. I worked with a bloke who leaned hard into compliance, the book, the manual etc. I remember watching him twat away a morning revving and idling a new saw. He greased the nose of Husky/Oregon bars. I'm convinced that's the beginning of the end of them because all he talked about was nose sprockets shitting themselves. Meanwhile plenty of bars (i.e. Stihl ones) that never see grease, still work.

My theory is that grease attracts and holds dirt, which causes bar nose failure.

Yep. That. I've probably just signed my 661's death warrant by putting the caged bearing in with some chain oil just now. I shit you not, the rollers were spinning freely before I lubed it and then bound up with the oil.
