I bought a chain saw over a year ago and never had a chance to use till now. I reread the manual and it says to check the oil. I did with a 'dip stick", lol and its seems dry. Would oil disapate like water in a closed area? Would there be a problem using it as is? Would any oil do, including vegetable Oil? Thanks

Hi,
Which oil? engine oil? chain oil? My saw chain oil tends to leak
some during storage in it's carrying case. Engine oil does not.
