Hi,

Have a new chainsaw that I imagine I won't be using any more until the
spring.
First time I've ever had one of these things.

I understand about draining the gas out so it doesn't become gummy
over the winter.

But, is it also a good idea to drain the chain oil lubricant out
also, or not really necessary ?

Absolutely. Make sure you replace it with chain oil chamber lubricant.
Chain oil works well for this.
