That is it in a nutshell. I figure if the engineers designing them say
to use oil formulated for the use, then use it. I am sure that they
know one hell of lot more about it than I do. I would have to dig out
my manual on my new saw to be sure but I think it specifically says not
to use motor oil.


Bottom line is to use what the saw manual says. My Remington electric
says "Do not use bar and chain oil" -- They recommend 30weight motor
oil.
