Sorry for the delayed reply, just started catching up with a few weeks
worth of posts.
I think it was the Weinstephan University in Germany (those of rape oil
fuel quality standard fame) who did testing of cold pressed rapeseed oil
for chainsaw oil. There is/was a .pdf file of the report
The better bar lubricants have very small but visible to the human eye short
hairs of plastic / nylon to reduce the sling off of the oil. When 30 weight
mineral based lube oil is used the sling off rate is huge so the oil leaves the
chain quickly. If you cut hard ( oaks ) or very hard (

Hi J.D.
Keith, Gustl,
The saw is a Stihl 025 with an 18 bar and a replaceable floating rim
sprocket so that replacement isn't much.
Same as ours, but yours is bigger. I'm not sure about the floating
rim sprocket. Trouble is, it's in bits

of their anticipated useful life so I'm not running that big of a risk. I
am not a professional logger, but I do cut a fair bit of
I believe that you will find the viscosity of biodiesel to be less
compatible with the oil feed system of the lube resevoir than you think.
Chances are very good that it will flow too readily unless modified.
Also, you will probably find that the lower viscosity will mean that
biodiesel will
