Just ran out of bar lube for my Husky chain saw. I have a gallon of used Redline 10w40 in my shed...was wondering if anyone has ever used motor oil for bar lube?

Mobile 1...Castrol edge EP...Amsoil...etc all say 15,000 miles guaranted protection. How many with or without a UOA run 15,000 miles on your oil?

What's the difference between Castrol Edge Extended Performance ans Castrol Edge Syntec? The syntec was a doller more in cost, extended performance is rated to 15,000 miles. I thought the "edge" series is the oil with some PAO's in it, to compete with Mobil one extended performance. I ended up...

I have 2 08 busas. One is basically stock and the other is a 450hp turbo bike I ride on the street. Both get 10w-40 Red Line motorcycle oil with a few ounces of zink and phosphorous break in fluid also added. I change the stock bike every 3000 miles and the turbo bike every 1500 miles. Both...

High octain fuels DO NOT INCREASE HEAT, they burn slower.

As the thread states what's the difference in the two? BTW I haven't seen "ultra" in a while. About 6 months ago a Kmart was going out of business and had both in 5 quart jugs for $12 dollars. Came back a couple days later to buy all they had and all was gone

Red Line 0w40 would be my vote.

Being somewhat lazy, is there one grease(I don't mind paying more)that would do a good job on anything fron U joints, to cv joints, to spendle jerks, lawn equipment, general purpose, etc. Red Line, Amsoil???

If cost is not an option, I'd go with Red Line 0w30.
