Yep that was me, thought it would not hurt to run my ryobi chainsaw without oil until i went out and bought some - trouble is i never got round to buying the said oil. 5 weeks later one knackered chainsaw - £116 down the chuffin drain....you learn by your mistakes my dad used to say, and he was not wrong !

A good series of videos. I borrowed a chainsaw from my brother and wanted to get a feel for safe operations and proper maintenance. These videos were exactly what I needed.

very helpful,thanks

Wow, put oil in the oil reservoir and gas in the gas reservoir. Great tips. You might want to mention that it's NOT gas, but a gas and oil mixture. Gas would ruin a chainsaw. It think 'Expert Village' should change their name to 'Village (something)'

idk if theres anything behind that summer time when i first started cutting wood all we had lying around was a bunch of 10w worked great. but this was like 3 years ago i would have to test them both to see which ran out faster. but as i recall the bars never got hot but now sometimes they do when its really hot out. but i see your point just asking a simple question that really has no right answer just what one prefers.

But you get way more sawing done before you have to refill if you use proper oil.

well 5w-40 works great when its cold out and 10w-30 works great in the summer BUT when its used omg that wouldnt come near my saws gotta be new.
-
Because chainsaw oil is sticky, made to stick to the blade.
Motor oil is much lighter.
-
how do you figure its not good?? if its used motor oil then thats a different story.

Didn't say anything about mixing oil in the fuel I don't think. Could cause a rookie to burn up a perfectly good engine.
