VP SEF Bar & Chain Oil

[166]

Looks like VP SEF has a lineup of oils coming to the market. We've had their mix oil for a few months but they are adding bar oil, hyd oil, and engine oils to the lineup as well.

I bet its not cheap either

Probably around $15 or so a gallon.

Menard's has Cam-2 bar oil for 7.99 a gallon....

Bar oil ??
I would NEVER pay more than Lowes or HD is selling a gallon for.

IIRC, Husky gallon @ Lowes is 8.69 (plus I get a military discount from Lowes) and Echo gallon @ HD is 8.99

I'd give their 2 stroke oil a shot.

Not me !

I did enough trying out of oil and came up with K2 as the winner
Second place is with a 50/50 mix of R50 and 800 off road

K2 is clearly a winner but trying the VP is good for another 10k post oil thread.

Thats about what Stihl bar oil sells for in my area. Crazy.

As I have already mentioned, but people obviously unable to comprehend, one should differentiate between bio (usually more expensive) and dino (usually less expensive) typ of bar oil. Mixing up two different products isn't doing any good in the generell discussion.

The closest Menards is 392 miles from here.

This post was about a manufacturer entering a new market and has nothing to do with box store lost leaders.

Not being familiar with their lineup, what are the benefits of this brand?

I think most are aware that $15 bucks for a gallon of bar oil is stupid as is the person that will pay that when there are alternatives.

Thats what they are as I just got back with some more. I should have just said $5 and tsc $6.

$4.99 is cheapest I have seen in a few years. Now maybe car oils will go back down too.
