Cheapest best bar oil

[idiotwithasaw]

My dad calls it Tough S#!t Chariles

I buy all mine from TSC. It goes on sale a couple times a year for $6/gal.

I normally get the TSC stuff when it's on sale.

That's what I have always used mostly. Never had a problem with it. It gets too thick in the winter though. but I cut mostly in the summer.

The Poulan is some tacky stuff, but really thick like you said.

35 years ago I used to cut some with a guy that worked for AT&T. He used some type of oil that they drained from equipment they had at the microwave tower where he worked, I think it was used for cooling. Thinking about it now, it was probably loaded with PCB's.

Been running TSC stuff for a while now. $5 a gal last winter on sale.

for a good 30 years I got bar oil by the 55 drum its was$ 160.00 we used 2 a year

in the winter i mix 1 cup of kerosene with a gallon of bar oil it flows better and not thick at all. beats paying extra for winter bar chain oil.

Yeah I use diesel but that's what I've got on hand That is when I buy bar oil which is very rare. 5 a gallon is doable but that stuff was getting expensive Most of it is made from used oils anyhow....

TSC here as well. I believe last time I picked some up it was right around $5/gal.

I ran out of bar oil the other day and I really wanted to go cut some cookies and I had some stihl ultra laying around and I used that lol, wasn't even good enough for that.

You can mix it with gas an burn it

Yeah I know that's what I always ran before I joined the forums. Now I run Mobil1 2t.

Used filtered cooking oil mixed with some bar oil works OK to. Smells like a fish fry when you cut.

I've been buying either cam2 or ithisca or however it's spelled by the case 4.45 a gallon. It does its job just fine. It's a bit messy for piss revving tho.

I had a bunch of free stuff that came from "leakers" from a bulk distributor.I'm about out but I do have 4 cases of "dextron" auto tranny fluid left .

I don't like stihl oil either not sure of protection and all that but it stinks

TSC for me too. Usually goes on sale for $7 a gallon a couple times a year. I buy a half a dozen and it lasts me a good while.

I use oil from work. We inject it into our drill string to lube the hammer bit. Looks and feels identical to bar oil. Was gonna look up the msds to see what both are made of. It's also environmental friendly. I figure if I can use it while drilling someone's water well, can't be to bad...

I knew something was wrong with you Gary.
