Chain saw oil is a specially formulated lubricant designed to reduce friction and wear between the chain and guide bar of a chainsaw. It helps ensure smooth operation, efficient cutting, and extended equipment life.
Fill the chainsaw’s oil reservoir with the recommended chain oil before operation. The oil is automatically applied to the bar and chain while cutting. Always check and top up the oil level regularly to maintain consistent lubrication.
Chain saw oil improves cutting performance, reduces wear and heat buildup, prevents rust, and helps keep sawdust and debris from sticking to the chain. Proper lubrication also reduces strain on the motor and prolongs tool life.
Chain saw oil is consumed as the saw runs—it doesn’t remain in the system like engine oil. A full reservoir typically lasts one tank of fuel on a petrol saw or one charge on a cordless model. Always refill both oil and fuel together.
It’s not recommended. Motor oil lacks the tacky, adhesive properties needed to cling to the chain during high-speed operation. Using the wrong oil can cause rapid wear, increased heat, and damage to the bar and chain.
Yes, the Bio Chain Oil 36 is biodegradable and use low-toxicity base oils. These reduce environmental impact, especially when cutting outdoors or in sensitive areas.
Yes. Chain saw oil is suitable for both petrol and electric chainsaws. The key is using the correct viscosity for smooth flow through the oiler system—check your manufacturer’s recommendations.
Signs include excessive chain noise, smoke, or overheating. You might also notice the chain appearing dry or cutting poorly. If so, check oil flow, clean the oiler port, and refill the reservoir.
