I have a chainsaw that leaks with the thin oil and would like a thick bar oil.
Any good ones out there?
Thanks

Fix the leak! :confused3: Thicker oil may not pump and you'll be replacing chains, bars and clutches. Choose which is easier for you. :cool:

Most bar oil is just like 600N right off the MEK or propane dewaxer. Heavier oil would be a bright stock. Like others said, it probably will not pump right.

Not sure where you get the bright stock type oil.

Yes - fix the leak. I make sure mine are pumping bar oil by running them on the porch of my cabin. Nice straight oil stain left on the dry deck boards.

I should buy good bar oil but wind up just getting the cheapest stuff I can find. You will get good advice from the guys that do a lot of posting on the "Tractors and Wood" thread. Many of them cut a lot of trees. I burn 7 cords a year and do very little tree felling. My Husqvarna Rancher saw leaks and just live with it. Now that I have an electric saw, I no longer keep it ready for action for those small jobs we all get if you own land. I only fire up the gas saw when I need to do a lot of cutting and then drain it.

What I consider the best I only used in racesaws. Slick as snot and used less HP to run IMO. But cost to much for regular use.

I just use Cam2 or TSC brand for everyday use. RK sells cam 2 brand for $5 a gal.

I bought 10 1 gln bottles of Cam2 from a logger for $4.00 each when he had a retirement sale. Love the stuff.

Not sure there is a fix. Dewalt 20v. Directions say drain it when done using. Its self draining:). Goes through a lot of oil when cutting with it.
Heard from several they are leakers. Just made that way. My Dewalt 60V doesnt leak.
