Where I currently work, they used to run drain oil through a coffee filter and then use it as bar oil. One of the oldtimers swore that they never had any problems doing that. That same oldtimer has a "knot" on his laynard that is held together by wire that looks to be a straighten out paper clip.


I find old-timers swear a lot, but... ;)

Pity it's toxic waste... and disgusting to work on saw that have used it.:chainsaw:
 
I'm surprised at you. You know you should run the old oil only after you've drug a magnet through the drain pan to get out the bigger chunks of metal.

No need to do that! The drain plugs in my truck and chipper have magnets in them :)

The real secret is to run the drippings through a paper towel, after letting it settle for a few days in an old paint can. I mean, that stuff is almost good enough to run in the truck again after it has been let to settle and been filtered!
