I've used an aerosol filter oil called "Motoline Air Filter Oil 655". Its made in Switzerland by Motorex. It comes in a 750ml can. Not sure if its available in the states but around USD$15 in Australia. Best place to find it is in motorcycle shops that sell dirt bikes. I do a fair bit of cutting and a can such as this will probably last me about 3 years. It hasn't done my Dolmar filters any harm at all. The easy version is to dip the filter in premix - the fuel evaporates leaving the oil to catch dust (just like filter oil). Lots of people use that technique in Australia to good effect.
I've found just a sniff of oil works best - early on I put too much on and for a few minutes the saw really struggled and smoked like a steam train. I think it was working too hard to pull air through the filter
You don't need much as I found out.
