Winter and Summer chain oil?

[Rye Oil Ltd]

it becomes a lot more evident when you start milling with 20-30" bars, oregon is ok in the summer, but way too viscous in the winter, change over to stihl seems to cure this, I notice a resin build up on the links when the oil is getting too viscous, its not flowing quite fast enough

a good "sticky" fast flowing oil designed with milling in mind would be a brilliant addition to the armoury of whats already available...Rye Oils?, somethine you might look at

 

Thanks always looking to increase our product range. If I come up with a test sample, would you be happy to trial it for me?

be more than happy to trial any brews you come up with John, hopefuly another log cabin build coming up in the new year, so a lot of milling on the M7 on the cards, (last build was 450 5mtr cuts in 10"-14" larch ) I used up 2 chains and needed a new bar after that one, so anything that gives me some more longevity would be good.

( three cuts to give a "d" shaped log, then the chaisaw moulder over the log to give a top and bottom "w" shaped locking profile)

Thanks that would be really handy. In the new year I will look at the options and see what I can come up with, I may be able to make a thinner chain oil with a decent tacky content, but up the anti wear additive. This should help reduce bar wear. If you PM me an address I can send you a sample next year.

Company I used to do some work for used to order theres extra tacky for the summer. In the inter it took forever to pour but performed fine.

Mr Rye, do you have a spec of bio oil that is suitable as a wide bandsaw blade lubricant? Usually drip fed to a felt wiper that is in contact with the blade.

We are using your oil jon, v good chain oil and is well tacky, it seems to be a mixture of Mineral oil and slug snot!
