It's about $9.00 / gal. It works great in moderate temps. If it gets below about 30F , cut it with a little 20w hyd oil to keep it flowing well. IMHO, there is no need to spend the big bucks on STIHL winter grade bar / chain oil or equiv.
There is 10 wt and 30 wt chain oil. Local hardware store has gallons of Huaqvarna chain oil for $10.50 either way. That and the non synthetic pre mix nothing else husqvarna. Get a chainsaw with a catalyst in the muffler and you might not have to thin it, awful fluid looking in and tipping the saw.
I went to Rural King this week they had Gard Bar oil for $8.99 or Stihl orange for $18.99. They used to carry Cam 2 and that's what their web site shows. The Gard is made by Martin Lubricants. G.

Got the craftsman to run fine but it just dumps bar oil all the time, whether its running or not, seems worst at idle.
Jun 25, 2018. #1. 90%, I run a 24" Forester Platinum bar on my 461. With the oiler at max the chain seems to be dry all the time. This morning after cleaning up the saw I drilled out the hole, and it is still small compared to other Stihl bars, but a big improvement all the same. Running the saws tip against a clean surface, it was slinging oil ...
Spectrum Oil Corp has three different viscosity BAR & CHAIN oils, SAE 30, 20 and 10. 30 being good for hot climates (summer), 20 good for cool climates (spring and autumn) and 10 for cold climates (winter). 30 is roughly the equivalent of 140 weight gear oil, 20 is comparable to 120 weight and 10 is close to 85 weight.
