Interesting. Why would they put a manual oil button on a saw that continually lubs the chain? Maybe for us old guys who might forget to use the oiler button? So I'm pumping the button assuming that's what it's there for and creating an oil spill on my floor! I 'll have to do more cutting to...

I use old engine oil from my diesel tractor for bar oil on all my saws with no problems that I'm aware of. My one saw is a Husqvarna I bought in 1974 and is still going strong. When I started the Poulan and reved it up after a minute I started getting an oil streak on the shop floor. The more I...
