any oil is better than no eoil, the purpose of the oil is to dissipate heat
which is waht dulls a saw. the only difference between automotive motor oil
and chain oil is the ingrediant they put in chain oil to make it stick
longer and not fly off the chain.

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??
