Customer Reviews

High RPM oil - for almost any need
I'll advise that for chainsaw bar oil - you can safely use any 20-30W engine oil. I highly recommend a synthetic 20-30W oil because it seems to work best. Go to you local automotive store and spend $2 on a quart of 20-30W motor oil for your chain saw lube. Don't waste your money on this or any other stuff claiming to be what you need for chainsaw chain lube. You can use this same oil weight for pretty much any high RPM tool - weed eater, generator, compressor - I speak from experience. Quaker State 20-30W Synthetic High RPM motor oil works in all my machines and tools - including my high RPM drill. You don't have to go with Quaker State... I just know it works for pretty much every thing I've thrown at it.

Works fine
I picked this up in a pinch and it works fine. I do not use my chain saw so often that I need to be concerned. I do agree that synthetic is generally better, especially if you are going to use it often or run it for a long time (keep in mind, however, that using a long time may damage certain tendons, especially if you do not use a chainsaw frequently). Still, I give it 4 stars because it does what it says. Take off one star for value, as I think it is a bit expensive. Like I said, Mobil1, Castrol, etc, make synthetics that cost a bit more and can take more heat and last longer.....if you need it.

Chainsaw? Got Oil?
My easy-to-handle electric chainsaw works as well as the clumsier gasoline powered ones I've used and it goes through just as much chain oil. Yours will too if you treat it right. Keep the chain sharp and tight...and keep the oil reservoir full. This means you'd better keep a couple quarts of the stuff on hand. What kind of oil? At the rate a properly-functioning machine dispenses the stuff, who cares? Tanaka works fine and Amazon Prime keeps it coming to my door postage-free when I don't feel like wandering through the local "big box" in search of something similar.
