Clean Chains - Chain Maintenance

I wouldn't use chainsaw oil, if you have ever used a chainsaw you will know that you need to top up the oil every time you refuel it. I know you're not doing the same revolutions as a chainsaw, and not pushing your chain through wood, but it's just not designed to stay on the chain for a long time. I would use something much thicker, I don't think chainsaw oil would be too good in the rain

I have a chain saw, and as such, have experimented with the oil on my skidder chain. It works well (like most chain oils), it just doesnt last ( the major difference in oils IMHO). Bare in mind that the chain of a chainsaw is contantly pushed through wood. So its not surprising the oil gets wiped off. So its probably not designed to stick in the first place.
