You are being ridiculous again , Sir Mister

Apples and oranges .Drilling mud just keeps the bit from sticking and washes away the rock dust else it could get stuck tight as a bulls azz in fly time . Hyrdafracturing is where they crack the rock formation around the base of a well by intense hydraulic pressure and blow in coarse sand or...

Rambling on ,"poly water" which is a wire pulling lubricant is nothing but that bio tech stuff sold by Oregon .It basically is KY jelly and also makes a good tire mounting thing . Another trivia item .Jelled water has less friction that straight water and is used in hydrafracturing sub strata...

I don't know .If the stuff doesn't have enough tacking agent in it you can fling a lot of it off . Some of those little saws with pressurized oil tanks just won't shove thick oil out to the bar when it gets cold . Tranny fluid works you just use a lot of it . Maybe ,just maybe salad oil would...

Danged price went up on all oils no matter what they are used for . Somebody on one of the forums claimed they went through a couple hundred gallons of bar lube a year . Sounds like a bunch to me but it is the internet ya know .Any way this guy used hydraulic oil he found some place ,maybe from...

Ain't that the truth .:(

Kerosine or diesel fuel through an oiler is an age old fix that sometimes works . Timely that this thread is still going on because Tom the tree guy just left .He dropped off a half a pickup full of old saws plus 20 gallons of bar oil just because he didn't like the stuff .Hey ,cheap is good...

The type of oiler is indeed a factor as to how well they work in cold weather . The little slotted shaft pumps used on the small Huskies are not to good in this condition . Gear pumps are a little better.Pulse diaphragm pumps work so-so .Most likely the best is pulse driven piston pumps . All...

Well a half a teaspoon of oil on the surface of a pool would look like the wreck of an oil tanker .

I think it has more to do with the amount of oil ,not the brand . It seems that the more modern saws and their wimpy oilers just wear out bars faster . If they put out about twice the flow it certainly would make things more simple .Then the "greenies " would whine about too much oil as if it...

I'm not sure they do anything with it but burn it now days .Years ago they used to filter the non detergent stuff and resell it at cut rate gas stations for about a quarter a quart . Before the EPA got on them they used old oil on railroad sidings etc to keep down the dust .That was years ago...

I hear these storys of reclaimed or filtered oil being sold as bar oil but I don't this to be truthfull or not . Any oil really doesn't "break down " it just gets contaminated . In the case of lube oils it can be filtered but I don't think indefinately . It makes a pretty good source of heat...

Some time last year Stihl branded oil was about the same as TSC stuff . I've used both along with about every other brand .They all work .
