bar and chain oil

[chopperfreak2k1]

i might get my butt jumped for this thread but i found two cheap oils and wanted to see what you guys thought of them.
the first is itasca (may be improper spelling) brand b&c oil for $8 a gallon i found at autozone browsing for other stuff.
and the other is tractor supply co. brand bar & chain oil for $6 a gallon.
the stuff kinda seems too cheap to be any good but if you guys use any of this stuff it will probably sway my opinion. as always thanks for your input!

I've read on here where the TSC brand gets better than a passing grade. Extreme cold may require thinning, easily done. If it sticks to your bar it'll be fine. I dont want to say oil is oil, but...

TSC =good , used it plenty , seems fine
Just was in fleet farm the other day 5.99 b& c oil = good , also

 

[chopperfreak2k1]

yeah for $6 a gallon i picked one up to try. it didn't seem to be as thick as stihl b&c oil so i wanted to ask. i'm glad to hear you guys like it, thanks very much!!

I just bought 4 gallons when it was on sale and have used the TSC stuff for quite a while with no problems.

 

[Zombiechopper]

buy whatever is cheapest
hydraulic oil is fine too
30 weight motor works fine
canola works great

Anyone used the Itasca?

I bought a gallon last year, then found an almost full gallon of Poulan

We have the green bottle Itasca in my area, but never heard any reviews.

NAPA B&C oil

While we are on this subject, how is this bar oil?
We have NAPA stores as thick as Stihl dealers and fleas on a dog
in my area with short driving distance.
I have mainly used Poulan bar oil, it is OK, but haven't seen any
lately for $6.

$ 8.50 a gallon and that does not change as long as the manufacture does not go up on price but there are two kinds there is the regualr and then there is the premium winter weight same price for both kinds

the 32 oz qts are $ 2.96 a qt but i only make about $ .050 cents or so per ct

just to add to that i know how people been trying to locate wireless tachs and multimeters and coil and condenser testers etc. that stuff will be on my site as well as repair manuels for numerous applications

I've used it before a while back (I think an old gallon jug is still hiding in my garage somewhere) and had no issues. I remember it being thicker then the Husky and Stihl B&C oil.

well i gotta say the prices sound good. now about the tach, you need to get one that refreshes every .5 seconds and is around $85. that tach would sell good i think.

Itasca. They used to sell at the old Agway the next town over. Good stuff IMO.

I've been using the tsc stuff for a few years.Since they opened in my area.I was impressed with sticky to cost ratio and kept using it.Most of the store brands are rebadged name brands that don't make the viscosty tolerance from what I was told by a friends dad that was an oil rep.But that was over twenty years ago ,could bedifferent now.
