Just mix in a little STP, or that crap Lucas Oil sells they put into that machine, with the gears attached to that crank. I think they call it "Oil Stabilizer", or some such.

I think that popular company warren performance products got bought out. Rumor I heard.
Do this:
Bar oil VOA?
Anyone ever do a VOA on chainsaw bar lube? Be nice to know what is in it. I just use used motor oil for the past 25 yrs and it works fine. Just curious about it.

I use the standard STP oil additive in a 15 ounce bottle and add it to 100 ounce of what ever oil I have. It's worked for me for over 40 years.
Wow! Prices have really gone up. Glad I stocked up some years back, TC for about $4/jug.
So I tried the "Cam2" brand bar and chain oil from rural king. It is $8.99 per gal which is the cheapest I can find in 2023. I stocked up on some. It is not thick but also no like water either. Im ok with it, not impressed however. Something happened over covid which caused all brands the thin out their formula. Not happy with this change.
This is the only one left and I cannot find it anywhere:

I use this: Amsoil Bar and Chain Oil
If the tank is a little low, and the bottle is back in the shop, I just spray whatever oil is handy nearby. Works fine.

the echo bar and chain oil is pretty tacky
I saw a youtube'r called mustie1 who uses bar and chain oil plus with a couple of wax toilet rings melted into it to thicken and aid in adhesion. He sprays it on with a fluid film gun and claims it lasts several years.
Mustie1 is the man!!!
I did that too, it works for undercoating quite well. But what he doesnt tell you is you need to have an outdoor stove and keep it hot and stirred. Was a miserable experiance to work with in the cold temps.
I like Mustie1 too but a local garage sprays my cars with fluid film for $100 each. They've been doing it for years and have a good reputation.
There's no way that I'm jacking up my cars and crawling under them to spray stuff that will drip back and make a mess of me and my driveway to save 80 bucks.
That seems like a great deal.
All I know is that I'm really, really glad not to have to worry about all that here on the left coast where rust is just something we hear about online.
