My chainsaws dont.

There's a claim here, the oil is propelled
by an oil pump that runs off the throttle.

The chainsaw sump is only meant for chainsaw oil, not motor oil,
not synthetic (low viscosity) motor oil.

Chainsaw oils (red tinted) come in "summer" and "winter",
the winter being thinner for low temperature outside work.
Like felling trees after an ice storm. The summer oil is
thicker, so some of it will stay on the bar and chain.

And that's different than the mechanism that keeps a
gasoline engine piston lubricated. That's just the chain oiler
mechanism. The chain oiler window should have the "red tint"
showing.
