I bought one of those about 2 years ago. I've probably cut about
two cords of wood with it plus two 20" x 40' elms in my backyard.
When I got the saw I bought a gallon of the cheap Home Depot
bar oil. I still have about half of it left. This oil is very
sticky much like way oil on a lathe or mill. It seems like
cheap insurance since anything else is just going to be thrown
off the chain.
