Here is the deal:
I usually buy my bar oil from Wally World, they carry Poulan in quarts and gallons. I buy it there because they are open later than the Stihl/Echo dealers and I hate the dealers attitude. In the past, I have bought the black jug stuff and it has been dyed red, nice and tacky. I just opened a green bottle, this stuff is dyed yellow and seems to be a little more runny. Is there a reason for this? Summer weight? I like being able to get oil after work instead of on my lunch, and 4.88 for a gallon is really nice. Other than color, is there a difference in these two oils? I am thinking of just getting a bottle of red food coloring so it is easier to see when cutting.
