Husky maintenance question

[El Finko]

I was thumbing thru my manual last night and it says something vague about lubing the clutch by dribbling in some "motor oil."
I'm sure somebody can clue me in...

I will guess they mean the bearing. It lives on the crankshaft and only spins at idle. Do not oil the clutch shoes. Which saw is this?

yeah I guess they're talking about the bearing. Mainly I'm wondering what kind of oil. The manual says "motor oil," if I'm not mistaken.
10w30? SAE30? Marvel Mystery Oil?

I use a little grease but I have used motor oil and also bar oil.

 

[El Finko]

Bar oil sounds good.
Grease sounds better. Multi-purpose, white lithium? I'm trying to think what else I have on hand...

 

[Fifelaker]

Don't over think this. The bearing only spins at idle. A little dab will do ya.

For the record, Stihl sprocket bearing grease is white lithium.
