Bio chainsaw Oil: Oregon Arborol Plus

[corylus]

Just found a thread on which oil people are using, started v recently. I would post a link if I knew how (combination of new app and iOS me thinks?)

[TGB]

Can anyone post a link/ suggestion to a thread some time back about the use of veg cooking oil vs bio and std?

 

Just done a search but found nowt.

Does this help any?

1. Tap the three dots in the upper right corner of the screen

Sorry! Got that in the wrong order. Steps 1 and 3 are mixed up.

 

Should have been:

1. Within the app version of Arbtalk, search for the thread you're interested in

2. When you've found it - then tap the three dots in the upper right corner. Arbtalk opens in a non-app view of Arbtalk

3. Scroll to top of page and highlight the entire URL

4. Opt for 'Select All', now opt for 'Copy'

5. Return to Arbtalk by your iPad/iPhone/iPod's menu button and opening the Arbtalk app - you'll enter where you left off in the same thread as before, from where you can 'Paste' the copied link, (URL) into your own post

 

Sorry for the confused first 'helping hand'!

Steer well clear of the oregon arboral as it eats away at the paint inside your oil tank and then the flakes of paint block up the oiler :thumbdown:and the only fix (for three) saws running the stuff was to split them in two and paint strip the oil tanks.

 

If cost is an issue then cooking grade rapeseed oil is fine and you'll have no problems with lubrication but over a prolonged period (years) the build up of associated gunk can become problematic - corrosive to oil pumps, sticks to cooling fins etc. This can be remedied by regular and thorough cleaning.

 

If cost is not an issue then the Stihl bio is good (made out of turnip oil amongst other things) and you don't get the same level of gunk build up and associated problems.

Corrosive.....how?

 

"Turnip oil"......I never even knew turnips HAD oil?

Have a gander through here:

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapeseed .

Seems like the origin is the same and 'turnip oil' is just another way, if older way of naming rapeseed oil.

It was a lighthearted comment which if I'd have thought about what grows above ground on turnips would have instantly looked silly.

 

Well my small saw is running seemingly happy on turnip oil then!
