[Shop-talk] Chainsaw oil

[Richard Beels]

you'll be fine, just drain off the water.

the thing that's special about bar oil is the tackifier package that 
keeps it from all being flung off the tip when the chain makes a 180 
at speed.  mobil 1 can't do that and the bottom of the bar goes dry, 
gets hot and then the  chain gets hot, stretches and flings off the 
bar at speed.
