Every tank. The grease hole is there for a reason.
Every fillup.... I should be using hardnose bars, but I keep lubing up the sprockets tips. They seem to be holding up okay. I grease both grease holes till grease flows out.
Never have, chain oil lubricates the sprocket sufficiently.
You carry a grease gun around with you in the woods?
One the tailgate of the pickup..... I mostly cut in flat areas, no need to pack gasoline and oil with me. I just lay everything out on the tailgate.
I use a "Oregon Chain Saw Grease Gun". My GB bars are holding up okay in the dirty conditions that I cut in.
The only saw tool I carry with me while actually cutting is a scrench and my brain..... :monkey:
Never have, chain oil lubricates the sprocket sufficiently.
All I know is that at every fillup when I grease my bar noses... I never see the fresh grease push out any bar oil...:taped:
I do see it push out sawdust/chips quite frequently though. Maybe the chips do lubricate well... works for the naysayers apparently
that's because the grease forms a barrier preventing the chain oil lubricating the sprocket opcorn:
