I have been using an off brand bar lube that I bought at an ACE hardware store. I have had a problem with the chain seizing up when cutting my first log-it usually does not do it when I am limbing though. If I am cutting a pine log, it is almost like I can count on having to remove the chain and adding lube to the bar track. I may just be my saw, but it is pretty frustrating. I thought perhaps it might be the thicker bar lube that I have been using. Once I cut for a few minutes, it never happens again until another cold startup.
