Which Chainsaw Bar & Chain Oil is Best? Let's Find Out!

I am an aviation maintenance instructor. My background is with turbine engines, not reciprocating engines. I love your oil show downs, and play them for my classes. However i get a lot of questions about aviation reciprocating oil vs automobile oil, and thats not really my expertise. I would love if you did showdowns with some aviation oils and their car counterparts. And it would be awesome to tell my students i was one of the reasons you did it. I would gladly send some of the more common ones on my dime.

And that’s why I love this channel. Been using stihl b/c oil for at least 20 years and paying the extra bucks because I thought everything they make is top of the line. This man saves me money, period. Can’t thank you enough Todd!

Great video. This is really interesting. I actually work in the oil industry and can tell you that bar and chain oil is commonly “slop” oil or flush oil from the filling plant and then they just blend it with tackifier and other base oils to get it to the viscosity they want. I’m wondering if all those other brands are just massive mark-ups on a cheap product and the Harvest King is closer to the actual cost to make it haha.

Always a real treat to find a product on a store shelf that is affordable and just simply performs.

As a timber faller making my living with a saw on the west coast for almost 30 years, I have to say when I bought bought bar oil it was harvest king, but I mostly ran delo 400 15-40 used out of my trucks. people gave me a hard time but my bars and chains lasted 3x longer then anyone else’s. now I see concrete evidence that at least the harvest king was better then the big name oils.

The hours and days you spent in testing these oils is much appreciated! Guess I'll be switching brands.😊

Finally a rock bottom priced product that has the competition packing. Great presentation as usual.

Here's the list of products reviewed. More details in the video description. Thank you!

I would have NEVER considered such difference in bar chain oil performance. I am very glad YOU did, sir. Thanks much !!!
