[flushcut]

I just found bar oil for 4.95 a gallon at searspartsdirect.com.

On back order. Bar-chainoil 952030130 parts | Sears PartsDirect - https://www.searspartsdirect.com/product/38thsyuxpy-0071-358/id-952030130

Damn! I have a "deal" with an autoparts store on the reserve to get STP b&c oil for $15/gal. No tax at least.

I was all set to order 40 gal. Did the best I could to check that it wasn't a picture mix up as $4.95 is the past price I remember seeing at some idiotic places for one quart. Started an online chat - that person says it is indeed a gallon....putting in an order for 40....

One last check from my phone for Searspartsdirect being a scam. Read some reviews of order problems, "so they basically stole my money". I"m out.


Good luck to anyone else wanting to run it through. My hat is off to anyone it worked/works for.

Geezus that sucks!

I usually get mines at Tractor Supply or sometime at Home Depot when their prices are periodically lower

They are both at 15$ right now

Often it is just as many have said..."if it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't".

 

[Burnham]

Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

I paused. Aside from not using petrol much anymore, I thought "What is Sears anyway?". Some group that bought the name, and who knows what company it really is. I didn't bite.

 

[flushcut]

Bummer.

A couple years ago somebody posted a lead on another forum about Simple Green being sold for $16 per case (6 gallons). I followed through and orders over $35 had free shipping so I ordered 3 cases. Needless to say I have enough Simple Green to last the rest of my life and another 2 lifetimes.
So in this instance I'm willing to chance it. No free shipping, they are charging $12.99 on top of the order total. I ordered 10 and will see how it works out.

I have an order “in process” so we will see. But it won’t break the bank if it’s a loss.

 

[Burnham]

Hopefully it'll be a smooth transaction.

 

[flushcut]

We’ll see.

Runnings is a chain store that covers a few states. I get bar oil there for $10. They have stores in 8 states from Connecticut to the Dakotas.

If you’re in the Midwest Menards usually has sales bringing a gallon down to $6-8 range, but they sell out quickly- have to jump when the sales come up. Recent flyer

Ya think Tractor Supply is marking it up a little?

Menard oil has tended to be a bit thin - when I can get it I stock up for use in the winter

 

[cory]

sure enough its 10$ at runnings

Yes Nards is 17 miles away and I agree the oil is thin and not very tacky.

I had great luck with TS bar oil for several years. I always stocked up for the year when it went on sale every January. 30 gallons usually got me through the year. After the latest oil price jump in mid 2021 I haven't been there to see.

I was at TSC a couple weeks ago, and the only oil they had was overpriced Husky quarts. >$10/qt if I remember right. I left with cat food.

 

[Cobleskill]

I used to stock up at TSC also. Not for a while bought a couple cases at Runnings. One Harvest King and one Mystic.

TSC up in Canada had Poulan pro bar oil. I found it the best/price for milling. Then they changed to Peavey mart and dropped it.

 

[lxskllr]

I thought the poulan oil was really good, at least for summer use. It got pretty snotty in the winter.

As I am “mostly retired” my usage has dropped way off, now that I am only doing the occasional job for family, friends, and neighbors. My ‘bill’ includes a dollar amount and ‘a gallon of bar/chain oil’, with a link to Lowes, HD, and TSC
