ok, so i was in the woods today. got a locust down in the road and was cutting my way out. (only place i could drop it. lol.) saw ran out of gas. while i filled the tank i checked the bar oil. nothing. looked around and i left my bar oil at the house. all i had was motorcraft 5w 20 (what my truck uses). so i filled the saw and went about my business. it was either that or run it dry, or walk 10 miles to get oil (yea right.lol)
i usually do run bar oil in my saws ( stihl ms 250 today) but i wonderd, do any of you run motor oil all the time? my uncle ran used motor oil since i can remembeR ( and still does). and when i run his saws, thats whats put in them.
so i wonder, is there any trouble running motor oil (new or used) in you saw? is there a REAL differnce? or is it just cause its called bar oil?
