Chainsaw Oil Options

[Cs65dos]

Thanks all. Great intro to the forum with very helpful advice

The joys of living in France - chain oil available in the local supermarket at 9 euros for five litres! Maybe add some to your shopping list if you're doing a booze cruise this summer!

 

And cheap Canard Du Confit.

 

Those oil prices aren't much more than stateside. I used to buy from the local petro company for $8/gallon(3.8 litres) before I switched to rapeseed.

Hi,

 

I really did think you were discussing vin rouge there!

supermarket rapeseed veg oil, £1/litre sorted

Is rapeseed oil different to veg oil? Veg oil goes gummy after it has got hot and also seems to eat into the paint and magnesium parts

VEGETABLE OIL FOR LUBRICATING CHAIN SAWS

[Wood wasp]

A 205l barrel chain oil costs £1.30pl and 20l tubs of rapeseed oil from Makro £1pl, don't think you're meant to but I quite often mix them to bring cost down but still have the stickiness of chain oil. If I could find an oil supplier that would supply the sticky additive I'd be sorted and would just use rapeseed oil

cheap engine oil is often recycled and could have some quite substantial health effects.

 

I'd go with food oil of any description which you can buy at pretty much any shop rather than engine oil).
