hairyface 211 Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 oregon oil is as good as any. i got a new stihl and was told i could only put stihl synthplus thru it but i find it really runny, so it gets oregon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

spade 224 Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 I got 25 litres of oregon for £55 from our local agricultural supplier. When we got to the till they tried to say it was £90 but all the tickets and shelf labels said £55 so that's what I paid. The girl on the till reckoned we got it cheaper than they had bought it in for. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnipper 6,506 Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 There's a big drum of it kicking around at work thats off the same company that supplies all our hydraulic oils, I'd imagine that was cheaper than the branded makes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
slingshot82 32 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 You need to watch out buying cheaper brands, it flys off the chain. We have tried a good few brands and now only use oregon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
terryd 8,525 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 We used to the cheap engine oil from quick save at the time years ago. Saw's used 5-6 days a week with out bother dare say it wasn't ideal compared to the proper stuff but you had to watch the pennies Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tilimangro 1,013 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 a gamekkeper told me some parts of europe you are only allowed to use vegetable oil eco friendly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bootsha 1,306 Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 i used to work alongside a fella who used vegetable oil, smelt like a chip shop on a saturday night wafting through the sticks lol. Power lube i know is widely used and highly recomended, i would use oregan, but the difference in price leans you towards the one i bought. If theres any problems, rest assured i shall report it on here. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
