[Dub11]

My supplier is out of red bar oil . have to run gold husky stuff in the stihls .and i am not paying 20 a quart for amsoil bar oil.

Picked up 10 gallons of Menards bar oil. Best stuff I've used. She's some stringy stuff

It's still some funny chit. I don't care who you are. Lol.
It was about $5 per gallon.

Lol. No Menards at all around here in RI. Lol

I figured. It's some brand I've never heard of. I'll get the name when I get home.
At 35°, it leaves strings in excess of 5' long when you're done pouring. Thins out in a few minutes of run time
