I don’t know about that oil. I use Bio Sage-Kettenoil from Germany. It’s not the cheapest, but it’s really good.
I have waste turbine and transformer oil. It is possible to pour it?Who knows??The topic is still alive?
If you saw all day, you can cast I-40, and other new. The waste. no way. it stinks, then everything is black, the oil pump can leak if not filtered. And the sawdust is all in this waste, it all gets absorbed into the ground afterwards.
If you saw a few cubes for yourself, then buy 1-2 liters for 2-3 € a liter of good, correct oil, not a big expense.
Special. Chain oil is mostly mineral, there are even biodegradable oils. It’s sticky and drags like snot. We recommend that you do not cut corners. It also depends on the saw, on normal saw the pump rotates only when the chain moves, and not all the time. You can also reduce the flow. The right oil is the right way to go. On my Husq 550XP I had enough oil for 1.5-2 gasoline refills. And you can do quite a lot on two refills.
A tire kills from improper use, dull or not properly sharpened chain. And chains only stretch new, and only a little if the sprocket is not killed.
We use m8v, popularly known as “eight” or “automobile oil”. Work is seasonal, from early spring to late fall. No more wear and tear on tires and chains than in the recommended oil.
Fully support, used before, compared the price when buying, at this gas station I-40a price (13.13 Waste oil is not necessary, you mustn’t pour it in, the oil pump doesn’t like it. ) was the cheapest, though the price of M8B and I-40a is almost equal
I once suggested to an acquaintance to use gl-5 transmission oil for chain lubrication.All summer I was building a house.
In the end, the test was successful.He said the chain has a lot less pull and liked the work of the saw.
The only downside as he said smells more when working)
I have a STIHL 180 and it’s 20 years old, even the piston is original, and it works in the spring and fall, and I always use waste oil, but I try to use waste gasoline, it’s much cleaner.
Any clean (new, NOT used) industrial or motor oil will do, based on my 10 years of experience with the saw “STIHL”.On the viscosity need to pour depending on the season.For example in winter you can use highly viscous oil but it has to be warm.I do not need exhaust, the oil pump does not like it.
I agree, that’s how I bought it, clean, new, didn’t feel very viscous, when looking at the counter all the motor and transmission oils were more expensive. That’s about the heat did not consider, in the winter, I will store in a warm pantry, not in the garage. Thanks.
What oil to use to lubricate the chain of a chainsaw??
For proper chainsaw operation, two types of oils are used, one for the fuel mixture and the other for chain lubrication. In this article we will consider the second type, namely what oil to use to lubricate the chain. The use of inappropriate oil leads to premature wear of the bar and chain, so you need to take this issue seriously.
I’ll note right away that the oil used for this task is special, and it is necessary to use it. Below I will explain why. Many people in this context also wonder if and why they can use other types of oil, including used oil from a car engine. I will also discuss it.

It is widely believed that quality brand name chain oil for chainsaw chain should only be used in a gasoline-oil mixture of the engine. Nevertheless, choosing an oil for lubrication is not a difficult task. Anything will do, as long as it gets in the right place.
But to put grease on a chain is half the battle. It is necessary for it to hold on the metal and stay on the bottom edge, which is what wood is cut with. For this purpose, substances with increased adhesion, that is, the ability to adhere to the surface and stay on it, are used. Anything will do, as long as it gets in the right place. Sure, some will remain, but it’s not known if that will be enough to keep the chain from overheating during intensive work.
Important! In all-season work with chainsaw you should take into account the dependence of oil conditions on time of year and air temperature.
Mineral substances that keep the chain and guide bar lubricated in ambient temperatures tend to crystallise and turn to grease in extreme cold. This leads to a longer lubrication interval and higher pressure on the oil pump. Its service life is shortened and it can fail prematurely. In winter, you should choose synthetic materials with special additives that provide reliable lubrication in cold weather up to.40 ℃. In light frosts and temperatures near zero, use semi-synthetics.
Evaluations of the use of different chain oil for chainsaws come down to the fact that the wrong choice can increase the load on the engine by up to 10%. The life of the chain itself and the saw bar is further shortened.
Due to the increased environmental awareness in recent years, branded oil products are increasingly being made from degradable substances. After all, in the long run, the consumption of chain lubricant can be measured in liters. And for people who are not indifferent to nature this will be another reason to choose environmentally safe product. If you don’t care what you get splashed with and what marks are left on the wood after the cut.
Chainsaw oil: when to use synthetics
Choosing the right oil for a chainsaw is one of the main criteria that determine its service life. There are a wide variety of lubricant options on the market today for two-stroke engines.
And some owners of gasoline saws use four-stroke engine oils the old-fashioned way. In this article we will try to figure out what oil to use in different chainsaws and situations.
A special oil for two-stroke engines is used for preparation of the fuel mixture. There are a great many of them nowadays. However, the manufacturers themselves, especially serious ones such as STIHL or Husqvarna, always write what oil to mix with gasoline for their chainsaws. They are under the same brand name, so you can use STIHL oil for a STIHL saw and Husqvarna oil for a Husqvarna, for example.
Representatives of manufacturing firms thus state that they do not know, how the chainsaw will work with other oils, but they certainly can guarantee faultless operation of their equipment when the fuel mixture for it is prepared on the basis of that product which they specify in the instruction manual. By the way, if there is a failure in the piston group during the warranty period, you can refuse free repair, if it turns out that you added something other than what the manufacturer indicates.
If the instructions do not specify a particular brand, you can mix gasoline with any two-stroke oil, which is available in stores. I recommend buying products from reputable manufacturers, like STIHL or Husqvarna, but also, for example, Echo, Hitachi, Makita. Naturally, you can safely take the goods not only of those manufacturers who produce gasoline equipment, but also those who specifically specialize in the production of fuels and lubricants, such as Ravenol.
Masters from service stations I’ve talked to praise all the same STIHL and Husqvarna oils.
Chain oil for chainsaws: what, where and when to use it?
Chainsaw chain lubrication works in complicated conditions that undermine durability. Chain oil in the working area prevents overheating of the working parts and promotes productive cutting of hard wood. A smooth chain run takes some of the load off the drive train.
Chainsaw designers recognize the need for complete lubrication of the chainsaw head, so the compact designs of modern chainsaws have room for a flowing oil tank and oil pump, with a fixed or adjustable capacity.
Chainsaw chain oil: How it works and how to choose it
Modern chainsaws are equipped with chainsaw lubrication system. And this system is given a lot of attention.
Even in instruction manuals for modern gasoline (and electric) saws the paragraph about chain lubrication is often given a few pages.
How to choose chain oil for a chainsaw, and how to correctly assess the operating conditions of the unit for the right choice of lubricant?
In this question there are many pitfalls and misconceptions, that, unfortunately, are firmly rooted in the minds of some people.

Review of well-known brands of chain saw engine oil
So you should not put anything you can find in your chainsaw. For those who are undecided, there is always a time-tested and familiar to the masses assortment of different manufacturers.
STIHL HP
Mineral composition with a high degree of purification. Color dark red. Due to its organic origin, it has a limited shelf life of 4 years in a sealed container. Careful when buying: expired products may contain sludge. Several filling volumes from 100 ml to 10 l are available to the user. There are canisters with and without dispenser. Sometimes a very small 20 ml vial can be found on sale. This size is good for a single use saw. Medium
/STIHL HP Super
Categorized as semi-synthetic, it is superior to conventional HP in all respects, including price. Has a dark green color. Has a low ash content. No fouling of the piston and cylinder walls, and a less smoky exhaust.
STIHL HP Ultra
This is a pure synthetic. It is the most technologically advanced and most expensive in the STIHL range. Also green in color, just a little lighter than Super. Suitable for the engines of powerful professional tools. Characterized not only by maximum purity, which benefits the engine and nature, but also by excellent frost resistance. Keeps its density and solubility in severe logging conditions. Available in 0,1, 1 and 5 liters.
The German manufacturer would hardly clash with Greta Thunberg over its premium oil: HP Ultra will decompose in the open air within 21 days.
Husqvarna HP 2
The Swedish manufacturer does not spoil us with such a variety as its German competitor. The brand oil that is available for purchase is a neat dark package of the volume of 1 liter. One can seldom sees 5-liter jars. The color is green, the base is mineral, but with additives, so it would be logical to attribute this product to the semi-synthetics. The company omits much about its secret additives that not only minimize the amount of fouling, but also make it possible to compensate for low-quality fuel. The Swedes position their product as a universal one that can be used both in the domestic segment and for professional equipment.
/Oregon 90720S
American brand, producing chains and tires, could not stay away from making engine oil. It is true that these lubricants are not made in the States. High-quality, semi-synthetic, brightly-colored package. Being cheaper than the previous ones, this semi-synthetic still holds its own with good cleanliness and low ash content. Color dark red, 1 and 5 liter, per liter.
Huter 2T
The multi-purpose motorcycle oil is positioned as a semi-synthetic because it contains additives. Made in Russia, poured in 1 liter containers. Positions itself as an all-season product, but thickens noticeably in cold below 20 degrees. Inexpensive (about 200) and definitely better than no-name bottles with half-worn labels.
/Oleo-Mac Prosint 2T
Quality semi-synthetic in a bright package. not so little. But in contrast to cheaper counterparts has the approval of API TC. You don’t have to know about it, you just need to know that such oil has passed the proper certification and testing system.
Hammer Flex 501-004
Another cheap semi-synthetic (250.300) certified and trusted by its users. The bottle honestly indicates the temperature limit of use: 15 degrees. Most users who leave positive reviews, not too loaded with the tool for professional use there are more expensive oils.
Chain lubrication system for chainsaws
Components of the chainsaw‘s lubrication system:
- Oil tank (located in the crankcase, it must be filled with oil to supply it to the chain);
- oil filter (installed inside the tank);
- The oil line or oil supply hose (made of wear-resistant rubber);
- oil pump;
- worm gear;
- The chain saw bar (it has holes through which oil enters).
