We knew you'd like it.

I know what you were talking about. In the end, it's all about greasing your bar though, isn't it. :hmm3grin2orange:

No. It' giving your new chain a little more lubrication for the first initial start of the chains life on the saw. It takes a couple or more revolutions of the chain on the bar before the oiler has pumped sufficient oil to lubricate the chain properly, and as well as the bar. Bruce.

OK, let's just keep it simple and end this - everyone vote yes or no -

Do you pre-soak your chains?

Only with water. It is usually raining here.

Only in french fry oil, I love the smell of fried taters and wood in the morning.

Now would that be the new non-transfat oil or the old poison kind that we all loved? Which would be better for the chain? You'd have to keep the old kind warm or it turns into Crisco. Then big clumps would be slinging off your bar as you blip the throttle.

Only virgin olive oil will do.

My dad makes his own chains, soaks them in oil and hangs them. I do the same. It works well.

Well, most of my food is soaked in "extra" virgin olive oil....I'd try it on my chains, may even be good enough to eat!.....If only it wasn't so damn expensive......

 

[secureland]

Gentlemen, don't forget that soaking your bars in extra virgin oil increases performance as well.

First Cold pressed is best...

How about maple syrup?

Depends on the grade of syrup, you know that stuff is graded?

Now that's overkill. Anyone knows you only need to change air twice a year. Fall air works just fine for Winter and Spring air is good for Summer - just need to top off or bleed some out. Generally, for each 10 degree change in temp, your tire pressure changes by 1 psi.

But you need to be careful where that air is imported from. It should be from the southern hemisphere in the fall and northern in spring.
