Squishey-san, The hydraulic fluid works petty well as barlube but it slingeth profusely forsooth. I used it straight in the power pruner and in othe4 saws when things were below freezing but otherwise found that mixed 50/50 with tackified baroil was a happier solution.
FYI Cheapskates. Check your Autozone. Our local store has Itasca bar oil for $4.99 per gallon. It is dandy motion lotion and even cheaper than Wally world.
Hmmm..have you perchance tried them since they were redesigned?
And BTW-Walmart and Poulan oils are either virgin base stocks or rerefined-nice clean honey colored oil. K-Mart used to sell a reclaimed ,filtered(?) bar oil that was a putrid green/black and stunk to high heaven.
Jamin, FWIW Walmart has there own Tech 2000/SuperTech brand found in the automotive section and they carry Poulan in either the hardware section or Lawn and Garden area of the store. Both work just fine but the Poulan has a better bottle shape for both pouring and staying upright in the truck...
