Vegetable oils for bar lube? Is there really a need for bar specific oil?

[QUOTE="jimbo1490, post: 274779, member: 4873"] Cooking oils all degrade rapidly (read that BURN) below 400F. Is that something you really want lubricating cylinder walls and bearings? The degredation by-products can create sludges and resins which are insoluble in gasoline (or any other common solvent I have tried). Again, do you really want that kind of thing in an expensive chainsaw? I've pulled a few perfectly good weedwackers out of the trash. Consumer weedwackers are fine for fooling around with cause they aint worth much, but not any motor you actually value. Just my HO Jimbo [/QUOTE]
