How to tell if oiler is oiling enough?

[ironpony]

My pioneer uses more oil than gas (not adjustable)

the correct ratio is The velocity vector v of an object that has positions x(t) at time t and x(t + Δt) at time t + Δt, can be computed as the derivative of position:

or when you rev it up
it should spray oil all over you and the wood you are cutting

I fill both tanks at the same time. Sometimes it looks like I could get by with 2 gas tanks per oil fill, but other times not so much.

My Poulan doesn't seem to be consistant with the amount of oil it consumes. I've noticed the cheapo bar/chain oil at Fleet Farm is pretty thick so I've added mineral spirits and that beefed up the oil consumption. I THINK I notice that it uses oil more after blowing out that area at the base of the bar - whatever you call it. That seems to collect a lot of sawdust which absorbs oil.

All of my Stihls use 1 tank of gas and 95% of a tank of oil. None of my saws leak oil. But in the summer time in the back of the truck at 120 degrees they will leak like a faucet.
