I just purchased a Craftsman 16 In. electric chain saw.
Question: It does not say what kind of oil to put in for lubricating the
chain?????
It did not come with a sample of oil.
Can I use regular motor oil??


not really. get chainsaw bar oil. i've used motor oil in a pinch and
as i remember it is too thin to really lubricate the chain well.
chainsaw bar oil has a lot of wax in it to make it sticky.
