Re: [MBZ] OT Used oil for chain saw bar

2010-03-11 Thread Hendrik Fay
I have used new motor oil when I have run out of bar oil but would never 
use sump oil, as the amount of oil a bar uses during a few cuts is not 
worth the black mess and potential for damage.

I used waste oil for many years on my 7 cord/year chain saw, ran fine.  
Caused no super fun site in my yard.  Money saved when properly invested 
has allowed me to move up to oil heat in my dotage.

I don't know enough about how the oil gets from the reservoir to the chain. My 
Husky only uses half a tank of chain oil to each tank of gas so I presume it 
injects a relatively small amount when it oils...

Dirty motor oil is orders of magnitude worse.  Bar oil, I'd wager, has

Good question.

There are a couple of filters ahead of the burner, and anything that has any 
weight to it at all would probably come out of suspension and collect on the 
bottoms of our tanks.

This is the furnace we have:

http://www.cleanburn.com/products/cb2500.htm

Interestingly, they don't say anything about the stuff in the used oil.  Could 
be that combustion temperatures are high enough it burns it in the process.

[MBZ] OT Used oil for chain saw bar

2010-03-06 Thread Rich Thomas
I was cutting some firewood today and ran out of oil I use for the 
bar/chain, which is generally whatever old random cans of motor oil I 
have found here and there.  I am about out of old random cans of motor 
oil -- found one more back in the garage of some ancient straight 40W, 
and tripped over about 6 jugs of used oil I have sitting in the garage, 
and got to thinking that stuff might be fine for lubing the chain while 
cutting.  Aside from the potential to get some nasty black oil here and 
there, I can't see any reason why that wouldn't work.  And it will keep 
me in bar/chain oil until I die or Armageddon occurs.


Thoughts?

Would this be the best oil to use (most of it is synthetic Mobil1)?

It's probably better quality stuff than the bar oil that you buy...

 I was cutting some firewood today and ran out of oil I use for the

 I have found here and there.  I am about out of old random cans of  
 motor oil -- found one more back in the garage of some ancient  
 straight 40W, and tripped over about 6 jugs of used oil I have  
 sitting in the garage, and got to thinking that stuff might be fine  
 for lubing the chain while cutting.  Aside from the potential to get  
 some nasty black oil here and there, I can't see any reason why that  
 wouldn't work.  And it will keep me in bar/chain oil until I die or  
 Armageddon occurs.

 Thoughts?

 Would this be the best oil to use (most of it is synthetic Mobil1)?

Umm - that soot made it through the oil filter many times -- I doubt that
will be an issue. Sticky is another matter though.

 S'not sticky like BC oil is though...

 I'd also be concerned if it were diesel oil about it clogging the injector
 or whatever it is that meters the oil out.
