Got some biodegradable chain oil, put it in my combi-can with the remains of some cheap oil, left it over the weekend. Went to put it in the saws and it had turned into what can only be described as GLOOP. Now the saw wont oil, and Ive got to buy MORE chain oil.

 

Firstly... WHY?

Secondly.... HOW?

Thirdly.....What can I do with it?

Fourthly....How can I fix said saw?

 

Has anyone ever heard of / done this before?

There must be some sort of underhand science thingy at work here.

If you mix vegy oil and stihl oil, it goes gloopy gloop. still worked.

Stick some petrol in. Give it a few revs.

It was the frost i reckon mate

and stick the end of the compressor in the bit where the oiler comes out onto the chain, and blast back into the tank.
