I didn't realize that chain oil viscosity varied.

Might want to check what the manufacturer recommends. Remington's
electrics say to use 30 weight engine oil-- *not* chain oil.


That is interisting. I thought the cain oil should be bio-degradable and
not regular engine oil. Not so much as for the chain, but for the
enviroment.
If the EPA saw that, I bet it would change.


Don't know- I read it first about 10 years ago-- And they are still
recommending engine oil

[now they say 30- or 10 when it is cold and 40 when it is hot]
