Who the hell let's the bar or chain hit the dirt?
If you are that careless, then you may as well use water
instead of bar oil.

Hoping you are not as obtuse as Doug, the purpose of the oil is _also_ to
help get the dirt which gets on the bar flushed away.

Unless your trees are much different that the rest of the world, the
bark/branch pockets/crotches will collect dirt.
