Equipment / Re: bar oil

« on: February 15, 2009, 07:20:50 PM »

I have had the same chain saw (John Deere 50V) for 30 years. For the first 10 of those years all I did was heat my house with wood. The saw came with an Oregon bar on it. I now live on 10 acres of land which I still cut wood with the same saw and bar. What I use is filtered oil out of the crankcase of my cars/truck. I take a gallon of oil and mix it with a pint of STP oil treatment or Wal -Mart equivelent  (well 15 oz. I think). That is what I have done for the better part of 30 years. . All I do is put a "t" shirt over a funnel and pour the oil over that to make sure that no grit that gets into the bottle. My brother always found it incredible that I did this but as I explained to him would it have hurt my car engine if I ran that oil in it for another couple of seconds before i changed it? He now does the same thing.
