Hello Charles,

Had same thing here. Used stihl bioplus a dozen years with no real troubles apart from chains setting solid if stored long time. Then last year got asked did I want to try a can or 2 of a certain chain manu' latest bio, so I did. Continued using it all year, and it started building up everywhere, and after the 3rd new oil pump on one saw, thought enough is enough and now gone back to regular mineral oil. The bars weren't lasting half as long either. Now can store chains, no build up, bars not developing wire edge daily! If forced to, would use stihl bioplus, but then go back to mineral after. Sorry, but fed up with saws not oiling properly.

Cheers, John.

Off to paint shed and fence now, in used engine oil.

My standards appear to be falling.
