Face it, Doug, waste oil is perfectly fine as bar oil, despite your
bleating to the contrary.

(And the greenies who might want to cry about it are perfectly welcome
to go suck rocks.)

Well, a field expedient, or maybe for folks who beat up a bar so bad so fast
that it's not important, like limbers.

However, bar oils are formulated differently even for summer and winter to
try and hit that happy place where it carries well enough to lubricate,
while having the good sense to get out of the way with its burden of dirt
when the chain runs fast and free.

I'm in hardwood country, and in the days before harvesters it was really
tough to find someone who didn't use bar oil, or respect the tool that
brought him his livelihood well enough to spend the four bucks per gallon.
Bubba in the pineywoods might have enough waste oil in the junkers in his
front yard to cut for a couple of days, but it just doesn't make sense for
someone earning a living with his saw to scrounge dirty oil.
