I run a 50/50 blend of summer weight bar oil and canola oil during the cold months (sub 40°F). It runs fine and I have had no lingering problems. Maybe it's because I'm using the saws regularly, maybe because it's mixed, maybe because canola oil does not cause problems. It works for me, so I see no reason to change it.
