CountryLine Bar Oil Reviews?

Another vote 'yea' for the Countyline bar oil. All I've been running for several years. I have a few gallons stockpiled but I go through a couple gallons a year. It does get thick in the winter, but if I know I am going to be cutting in cold weather, I will bring a gallon into the house and let it warm up on the radiant floor. Once it's in a warm saw, it thins out just fine.

 

I've used County Line for 2 years with no problem. If its really cold out I just cut it with a little diesel and it works fine.

 

In my part of the world the thick stuff comes in a white jug that says "durex bar oil" 7.99$ a gallon at bi mart and some convenience stores. My favorite is the "husqvarna' or poulan branded bar oil. Much nicer for colder temps. And while we on the bar oil thing, i must admit i would never put used motor oil into any saw i owned or anyone else's.

 

Yeah the County Line B&C oil works well keep it in the shop until ready to use and it pours fine.
Were I worked they used Delvac 15W-40 motor oil

 

Thanks guys for letting me know the Country Line oil is OK to use. I just purchased 4 gallons online-pickup in store for $5.00 a gallon. So if you are a user of this oil, check to see if your location is selling it at that price. Other shops had it at $6.00 a gallon. I had a TSC gift card so I used it for the purchase so to me, the price is free as the gift card was a gift.

 

Cold weather bar oil.
ALL OIL GETS THICK IN COLD WEATHER. trust me ! If you don't believe me. Send me or Rope a jug of it . Just depends on what u consider COLD

However, even thick oil will thin down so it can pump if it's warmed up. Easy way to warm it up without wrecking your oil pump is to start your saw and let it warm up at an idle. The oil tank warms up and the heat is transferred into your oil .
The coldest I've cut in is a touch warmer than 60 below F ambient. And my saw oiled fine. Because I let the saw warm up with an empty tank. Then poured flowing oil into the warm tank. Let it idle a bit longer . Then got cutting. I store my bar oil indoors. Saw gas stays outdoors.

 

Yes they do. It is a buck more where I live.

 

The last dealer I was at told me there's about two main manufacturers of bar oil (Not brands, obviously) so his inclination is to go for whatever is the cheapest. That's a far cry from the Stihl bar oil another dealer across town sells for $17 a gallon...

The Tractor Supply stuff is also available in winter weight. I've never used either but I wouldn't hesitate to.

 

County Line bar oil is all I’ve used for years. Good stuff IMO.

 

I doubt it gets cold enough where you live for it to matter. It doesn't get cold enough here anyway. Michigan or Minnesota may be a different story. The bar oil can be thinned if it gets cold enough to become a problem. IIRC, guys thin bar oil with kerosene, diesel, or AT fluid...

Oh, another vote for County Line Bar oil. All I use unless somebody gives me something.

 

I have used a lot of in in the last few years. It works fine for me. WeldrDave I think the price may be a regional thing? Cause when a lot of you were bragging about $4.99 oil at TSC it was $5.99 at my store. Still a good buy but just not that same mark.

I do like the poulan bar oil. It seems tackier than other oils and deffinitly the TSC oil. But I don't think I'd pay $10 over $6 for it.

 

I run the County Line, have for years.
