I have an electric McCulloch pole chain saw being delivered tomorrow.
I have bar oil for a gas chain saw. Can it be used in an electric
chain saw or is there a different (viscosity) bar oil for electrics?


Thanks to all responding. I'll use the bar oil I have.
To LSMFT. I forgot where I read it ( it could have been here) but
regarding the bar oil leaking out of the saw when stored, the remedy is
to store the saw, with the bar end up, to keep the oil from leaking onto
the blade, shelf, and floor.
I haven't done it yet, my chain saw died a couple of years ago and I
haven't needed a saw until this storm. I bought the pole saw for the
tree branches that are split and hanging down onto my shed, walk, and
driveway. I'll wait until the snow melts down to a foot or less to get a
gas chain saw for those branches and downed trees in the back yard that
are too far from electric outlets and are not posing any current
interference with moving around.
