Jeez. I've used left-over motor oil on mine for 38
years. They're
still going strong.

I started with 10W-40. Now we're at synthetic 5W-20. Whatever is
left over goes into my "what the hell" pump oiler.

Once motor oil leaves the engine, it should ONLY go to recycling. It shouldn't be used for anything else.

Makes great chainsaw bar oil. I'm sure you'll tell me how bad I'm polluting now.

Yum, bypassed combustion products and acids on my chainsaw bar,
sprocket, and chain...I can't _wait_ to try that at home!

I don't run my hands up and down the chain or bar except during adjustments and with work gloves. And I don't eat the firewood. And just exactly how much exposure is there when stacking the firewood when I'm usually using work gloves again? See how silly this exposure to toxins can become.

Who's talking about toxins? Not I. But dirty oil stinks and acids
eat bars, chains, and sprockets. Go ahead and recycle those onto your
chainsaw. Your extra dimes.


Go ahead and pay for bar oil. Your dime.

You bet I will. And next decade, I'll buy another $6 gallon.

No, the "acids" from diesel crankcase oil don't eat anything on 3000 mile oil changes. I'm anal about oil changes on my truck. I'll concede it doesn't smell nice like bar oil. But, no, on the acids. If they did, I'd be going through chains, bars and sprockets. I'm not.
I'm saving money that would have been wasted on bar oil.
