It got up to 69 degrees yesterday, and 68 the day before. This week it will be in the upper 40's or lower 50's, but kind of unsettled as we go into next week. :frown: It gets colder as we go into next week, though. You could always just attach it to your mower and go around the yard seeing if it bounces or not, because if it is heavy enough it will probably stripe!

If used oil from an automobile was good enough for the last few miles in the vehicle, it is certinally capable of lubricating a chain and bar:thumbsup:
However, I don't use a lot of bar oil so I buy the cheapest I can find.
Remember ----- bar oil will "stick" to the chain and bar much better then regular oil.

Never use old engine oil on a bar and chain.
Not that it wont lubricate but because of Carcinogen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Also better using vegetable oil.
Use deep fat frier oil. Take out all the food bits and you have perfect bar and chain oil.

Around here used fryer oil is in demand. All the bio diesels snatch it up
