Anyone else use this stuff. I’ve ran a couple gallons this winter. It’s been great so far. Half the price of Stihl or any other saw manufacturers brand. It’s non parifin based also.

These posts about bar lube always make me think about my dad. He always used waste motor oil for the bars on his saws. My dad is passed for over 10 years, but I can still remember hem saying something like 'it was good enough for the engine until I drained it, it is good enough for a chain saw bar'.
I don't don't go so far as to use waste oil, but I don't fret about what I buy. Usually its what is on sale!
I think a jug of canola oil in the shed has some kind of microbial life in it. Before filling the saw I shake the jug and get on with my life. I get vegetable oil for a few bucks a gallon.Anyone ever see bar oil with fungus spores in it? Buddy of mine told me about it but I've never looked into it. I just use Mobil One left over from the 5qt jug after my 4.7qt change haha
Have you ever wondered how piss gets all over the toilet, under the seat, on the bottom, etc? It's because when you stand up to pee your urine becomes an aerosol into your bathroom. The urine aerosol will then land all over your toilet, shower, toothbrush, sink, handles, and everything else in the room, unless you sit to pee. So much like I sit to pee in my home I use vegetable based oils in my saw which I operate next to my home and well. Even though you don't lick your bar you are still ingesting plenty of petroleum oil and getting it all over your body. There's also a logosol mill on the way to my house, so I don't want to get petroleum oil all over a bunch of lumber that's going into my house. The petroleum oil will also be all over your firewood which then gets released into the atmosphere as additional NOx and CO after burning it in your stove or in a slash pile.I don't make it a habit of licking my bars............

Do whatever you want, but don't ridicule me for looking out for my own health and safety. So yeah, I'm definitely going to shame you for being a tool. Plenty of other folks who like to use traditional bar and chain oil didn't have to be a tool, but you did.
With the ongoing shortage of TP, my wife has been bugging me for one of those power wash toilet seats....lol Not on my toothbrush, My teeth come out at night and get soaked in their container for reinstallation in the morning............I was on an industry task force on antimicrobial soaps in the 1990s. Charles Gerba, U. of AZ, has studied aerosolization of toilet flushing. He recommends closing toilet seat covers. Ends up on your toothbrush.
Kinda makes you wonder if the urine on the toothbrush may have accelerated up the demise of the original toothWith the ongoing shortage of TP, my wife has been bugging me for one of those power wash toilet seats....lol Not on my toothbrush, My teeth come out at night and get soaked in their container for reinstallation in the morning............
Place where I brought my Stihl chainsaw deals mostly with professionals. Sold me Husqvarna bar oil.
Some of the guys on a bbq site I am on use a natural bar oil.
