I don't have a chain saw, but my neighbor had an electric
chainsaw, and was completely unaware of the need for
blade oil. I showed her the reservoir, and it was dry. There
was no indication of what kind was supposed to be there,
and the manual is long since gone.
And indeed, it sounds like it is a question with many opinions
and experiences.
Rather awkward getting the info about not using chain oil on
an electric saw. I wouldn't have thought there was much difference
in the tip speeds.
Simply put, whatever I tell her to put in there, she'll do, but I don't
want to tell her wrong. I was originally thinking about using
Hypoid 90 transmission fluid, but I don't want someone else to
tell her that I told her wrong.

Anybody else got solid info on electric chainsaw bar lube?

It is certainly cheap enough; why would you want an equivalent?
