Your straps are upside in hood shape. What you using as far as bar oil

Not fancy hyped dedicated B&C oil, that I can tell You.

Dedicated B&C oil is like that toothpaste recommended by 9 out of 10 dentists!

Change my mind.

quick search showed 303 Hyd at $12.50 a gallon and typically find inexpensive B&C oil at $8-10 a gallon.

I buy from a supply house. Used to be 25$ a bucket. I don’t use 303 in bulk these days as it’s basically obsolete. But yeah at 5$ a gallon and it was always on hand it was about the cheapest stuff available. And I had it. A lot of places sell stuff pretty cheap if you’re buying multiple barrels a year.

It’s still pretty cheap if you wanted to go that route

Guys try strait canola oil.
Cheaper then any bar oil or tractor fluid

I’m exclusively running it. I like it. Switched in 2020. Covid made bar oil hard to find. Never switched back

No way it’s cheaper that an 8-10$ a gallon jug of bar oil, not where I am anyway

How much is a gallon of canola oil and how much is a gallon of bar oil where you live??

Bout the same now. I bought 7 gallons of canola back in 2020 for 7$ each at target

 

[Khntr85]

@Seachaser Which one is that much??

 

[Loony661]

I’m wondering the same - I can buy bar oil for $7/gal and the cheapest I can find Canola is $10.25/gal… Not sure how guys are claiming Canola is cheaper.

Costco. Those are 3 quart. Sam’s club also has it. Usually a click cheaper in store. The price is about the same. I switched back when it was considerably cheaper. I kinda like using the stuff.

[jakethesnake]

Ok I’ll be straight I know for sure Sam’s has it right now for 12$ or less. The other link I’m unsure. But that makes it 8$ a gallon. Either way it’s not expensive. I’m not sure if I can buy actual bar oil for less or not. I do know I can get hydraulic fluid cheaper still. Not sure what I’ll do when my stash of canola is gone.

I will say if you find canola cheap enough it’s pretty good

We only have two small grocery stores. I use Canola for fish fries. Store brand or Crisco is what we can get. And don’t even ask about peanut oil.

I‘m living in germany. The cheap canola oil from the next supermarket cost 1,39€ for one liter so 5,26€ for a gallon.
A cheap bar oil mineral based starts at 3,29€ for one liter (12,17 a gallon)
Bio based 4,58 liter / 16,95 gallon

I would never use a mineral based oil. Because it is not good for the environment.
