I can sleep at night using dyno bar oil for now. If only my favorite 361 would give me more room in the bed at night though?

if you are gonna sleep with your saws,
always use a scabbard!

I use the Stihl synthetic (white bottles) for mix and motion lotion, stihl, poulan, or generic from the back woods hardware store for the bar. One Stihl dealer told me that using motor oil will keep my chains 25% cooler but will run out twice as fast (because it's not tacky). Right now I have a gallon bottle abouit 2/3 Stihl and 1/3 Valvoline left over from an oil change. Seems to be working well. I always keep my oilers turned up too so I keep a close eye on the resevoir.

I'd be kind of nervous using that animal fat 2 stroke oil and canola oil for the bar oil cause it might attract the bears and mountain lions...

Well, I went out and bought the Husqvrna bar oil and low smoke two stroke just to try it. I;ve used other two storke oilfrom Autozone,Napa, etc. in my blowers and trimmers as well as my Homey. Just thought I'd see what you guys ran. :greenchainsaw:

Now, that is a scary thought. I can hear banjo music coming from my computer! :greenchainsaw:

I am using Poulan Bar oil and Poulan Synthetic 2 stroke oil(Yes I know it is probably semi-synthetic) from wally world. The Poulan Synthetic 2 stroke oil is low to no smoke depending how cold it is, and burns really clean! The Poulan Bar oil is some tacky cr@p! It is like pancake syrup, or kink lube! LOL
