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?

There's no such thing as "bar oil for a gas chain saw". It's just "bar
oil".
For any kind of chain saw. What you have will work just fine.

If that is the case, then you can just use a thicker weight auto engine oil.
It's a damn sight cheaper.

Yes, but it's not the same stuff. Bar and chain oil is stickier. You can use
motor oil, but you use a lot more of it because it gets slung off the chain
faster.
