Chainsaw Bar Oils

When you need the right lubrication for your chainsaw come to Repco

Limit chain wear, bar wear and excessive strain on your chainsaw when using the correct chain bar oil on your chainsaw. Designed to effectively lubricate your chainsaw bar while in operation, a chainsaw oil will assist in the ease of cutting timber. Repco stock chainsaw bar oil from reputable brands such as Castrol, Penrite and Valvoline to give you the peace of mind of quality lubricants keeping your chainsaw running to its optimum efficiency.

Bar and chain oil is a blend of a base oil such as a 10W30 engine oil but it also contains additives and tackifiers to make the oil adhere to your chainsaw bar. This tackifier is a liquid polymer that adds the stickiness of the oil to enable it to stay where it needs to lubricate. Any standard engine oil would run off without lubricating the full extent of the chainsaw bar and the chain. Chain saw oil is designed to lubricate the bar and chain and does not need to lubricate bearings such as what is in your vehicle engine.

Running a chainsaw without an effective chain lubricant can cause the bar to turn blue from heat, thereby causing distortion on the bar and abnormal wear through this lack of oil. Always make sure the oil hole on your chainsaw bar is clean and not blocked to enable effective lubrication at all times. Also always ensure you regularly maintain your chainsaw and remove all sawdust and buildup where the chain runs through the body of the chainsaw.

To get the most from your chainsaw don't use pressure on the saw whilst cutting and let the chain do the work to limit heat build up and excessive wear on the chain and bar.
