Would love to help you guys out. But unfortunately your a smidge out of our delivery range. We have slump in our yard for heating oil and red. There may be an oil company near you that does the same. Good luck.
-
No one got any info on this? What sort of machinery is it used for etc?
-
Aspen seems to be a great success story. Virtually all of our horticultural customers stock it now.

There seems to be a movement from a few manufacturers towards thinner chain oil. There may be seasonal reasons for this, if it gets colder do the oil pumps struggle with the thicker oils in the marketplace? When I first started blending chain oil, the feedback was make it nice and thick and tacky. That way it keeps the chain and bar nicely lubricated and the oil doesn't fly off, this is the principal we still use and seems to go down pretty well with our customers. The cynic in me may think that they want to go to a thinner oil so you use more. I may be completely off the mark maybe those of you who use the thinner chain oils can let me know, I would love the extra input. Sorry for the waffle

Hi all we have a few customers who use The STIHL Ultra HP 4 mix oil. We already make an oil that is a direct replacement for the semi synthetic 2-stroke that all the major makes sell, but I cannot get anymore info on this particular oil. Are the any other oils that are used in the same bits of kit that I may be able to find spec sheets for?

Stunning here also. Really does feel like the crappy weather is behind us. Enjoy

Sounds lovely, not sure chain oil made from the remains of carved up animals is the way to go. But you never know.
-
Yeah we also sell that to people to put in their heating oil, especially if they have Aga's
-
Unfortunately we are going to see more and more of this issue raising its head for some time to come. As they increase the bio content of fuel oils it will affect not just saws, but anything that uses fuel oil. We are doing more and more pump outs of peoples heating oil tanks to clear water and sludge because of the increased bio content.

I am hoping this new formulation wont do that, this is not the first time I have heard this, not from one make in particular but all round.
-
I hope that barrel of prized chain oil is not stored outside bob. You might get more than you bargained for at the bottom. The sooner you get to the bottom the sooner I can send you a shiny new one

I know that synthetic esters can be made from a variety of organic and inorganic acids, so the exact origin of the ester that is used in the product we are testing is sadly unkown to me, but I may try and find out. I know if you use a synthetic ester based product it should stand up to higher temperature and producce less wear on moving parts. Only time will tell. It is interesting that some people seem to be able to use just veg oil and be fine and others have major issues. I suppose what is comes down to is the type of saw, how well it is cleaned and the type of work that is being undertaken. I shall keep the forum updated on our tests and if anyone has any questions give me a shout. Sorry for wall of text.

The oil we make is a 150 grade never had any complaints about winter use. I considered making a 100-120 grade, that seems to be a way some firms are going, but it makes me think the only reason they want to do that is so you guys use more oil. The thinner it is the more its going to fling unless it's got a lot of tacky additive in it. Bio oil tends to be thinner than the mineral equivalent.

Spike Milligan used to be one of our customers and the lead singer of Keane turned up in his ferrari one day to get some cans of Kerosene because he had run out at his house.
-
Hi Matty which bio oil have you been using, and do you clean the saw out if its going to sit around for a bit?
-
I am hoping this synthetic ester based product wont do that. The main problem with vegetable based bio oil is it breaks down in the saw and that is what gums up the pump. There definitely seems to be a love/hate relationship with bio oil, mostly hate it would seem.
-
Cheers Bob its been a pleasure doing business with you. Hope your being kept nice and busy at the moment.

Hi Rich the antiwear addative is easy, the hard thing would be mixing the tacky addative in, as its name suggests it is very very sticky and you generally need heat and a good stirrer to mix it all together. We could certainly get some to you but I obviously couldnt guarantee the results.

Hi, we are new to the forum and I just thought I would throw a question out there that members may be able to help us with. We are currently working on a range of Bio Chain oil and bio Hydraulic oil. The one that seems to be working best is based on a synthetic ester rather than the standard veg oil. The question is have many of you used this type of oil and what are your thoughts on it? I have some samples being tested as we speak but any more info is always useful. Many Thanks Jon
-
Thank you for the welcome I shall do my best to answer any queries. I have been blending Lubricants for almost 20 years so hopefully I can work out most things

Hi, if the Diff oil is Ep90 or equivalent, the extreme pressure addatives present in the oil are not very pleasant when breathed in. The thickness of the oil is about right, the chain oil we make is 150 C/S which is the same as a SAE 90. The diff oil wont have the same anti wear and tacky addatives which prevent excessive wear on the chain and bar. In short it would work in the short term but I would not recommend it.
