Several pages ago, I think some of you told what you mix with bar oil in cold weather. Was it kerosene?
I've got some 1 year old 30 wt bar oil that Sat in my truck bed through the cold freezes and my 024s weren't oiling as well as normal the last time I went out. Thanks for any input(aside from "don't leave it outside dumb...")

I use a blend from a bank of oil dispensers in the shop that were leaking for a while. It's a mixture of Mobil 1 gear oil, synthetic ATF, and synthetic 5W-30 motor oil. I collected 30 gallons before they were repaired. The stuff is slicker than snot on a doorknob.

Jim Rogers standing in the center(ish) wearing HEARING PROTECTION!!! Yikes!
Jim has slipped a touch. I offered to give him the McCinderblock but he passed.[emoji15]
Well they are not the coveted prize of every collector.[emoji20]
My winter blend of chain lube is 5 or 6 parts 30w Wally World bar oil to one part kerosene.
50/50 is a LOT thinner than what one would expect.

1 part ATF to 3 parts bar oil works well for me.

Morning John! Morning midlanders!
No one wants the PM 655 so I will just have to repair it and put it on C'list.
The others I got in the small pile yesterday is a Homie XL and a Husky 77 carcass. Others not worthy of mention were left at the end of the driveway in hopes the 'pickers' carry them off. Trash pickup is Monday.

I use 50:50 bar oil:canola oil. works well. just was at wally world and picked up the canola. not even opposed to tranny fluid or kerosene. whatever floats yer boat.

Coming from the person in charge of repairs, no less.
