concentrated bar oil

[bobbobbobbob]

I was in buying chain oil at my local dealer and he has this bar & chain oil from Oregon that you dilute with water?? The claim is that its stickier and goes 5 times as far as normal oil. I was wondering if anyone had used it? and if so does it live up to the claims or should it be kept well away from? Cheers!

how is that possible oil and water don't mix

Yikes!!! Water??? Product have a name??

 

[redoakneck]

Brush ape??

Arborol. Must be new to the market as I have not seen or heard of it. You also need to add antifreeze (non-toxic) to the mix. Sounds like the stuff they use in industrial grinding/cutting machine applications. Might work great. Give it a go and report back.

They can be mixed if the oils are essentially stripped out

Howdy,
The problem is it doesn't stay mixed. If you leave it sit very long at all, it's like Neil says, "Rust Never Sleeps".

I stand corrected

Oh boy! I see in the near future 4:1 or 3:1 arborol fights.

Vegetable oil with emulsifiers??
Canola oil with dish soap??

So... mix it with water... and pour it in a chainsaw that uses metal parts and pieces??

I'll pass... I have no need to be using the latest 'n' greatest gimmick(?).

3.2:1, just to give it a spark!!!

 

[jughead500]

I believe i would feel safer at 1.5:1 so i don't score my oiler piston.

Old engine oil. Strain it through coffee filter(used so you know it works)....

There are many water soluble cutting/machining oils that get sprayed all over very expensive precision machinery, shouldn't be a big deal in a saw...

I get to work on nast gummy wet sticky stuff like that every day. It amazes me how it takes the paint off of things. I wouldn't want it in a saw.

This stuff has been around since 2009?



I think I will stick with canola oil.

I've been using water based coolants for mag drills for years. Never had an issue with one bit of corrosion.

what is the price point? Considering what we pay for a gallon of bar oil this could be less expensive.
