Haw much bar oil does it use? And should it be dripping after use?

I'll echo the other answers and add that someone mentioned that loosening the oil cap after sitting of the saw relieves pressure and stops the dripping. It seemed to help a little with mine.

Never measured it. I've only used this saw once to cut up a tree that blew over. I just filled up the oil whenever I filled the gas. I definitely wouldn't want to run dry. I'd say there was some visible oil on the bar after I used it, but I don't think it was excessive. My dad always said oil was cheap. (Much more so in his day), but basically, I'd rather have it over oil, than run dry and burn up the chain or bar.

Mine leaks like crazy. It will drain the whole reservoir on the shop floor if I set it down normally. The only thing I've been able is to store it so that it is laying with its oil cap and gas (+oil) cap facing the ground. I wish I had gotten something without the oil leakage and more professional strength instead. As far as oil consumption during use, a tank of gas might last 30 minutes and at that point it has used a full tank of oil as well.

Mine uses as much bar oil as gas. Meaning the bar oil tank is depleted at the rate that the saw needs to be refueled.

Sorry, I haven't had the use of my saw long enough to answer. It's been in the shop waiting for a carberator since day 2 over 2 months ago.

mine uses a fair amount of chain oil, it does drip a little bit after use I think that is normal. if it doesn't put a lot of oil on the chain the chain will wear out faster.

my saw uses 1 tank gas to 1 tank oil every time and it never stops dripping until oil tank is empty; but the saw is great

You just add it to the water. I usually do 5 to 10 drops. If the oil you're using is particularly strong you might want to be conservative with it.

dRIP use 30w oil, chain oil runs right through a good machine for the money

I put about six drops in the air hose fitting every time I use it. If used for long periods I add oil every couple hours.

I have never actually cleaned the barrel. I use something called "SPRING CYLINDER OIL". This was highly recommended in the instruction manual of another co2 gun I purchased. I have had this pistol for awhile and it has been working beautifully. All you do is place a drop of oil on the tip of the co2 every time you install a new one. I must say the oil is hard to find and a little expensive. A 1 oz. bottle cost me $15.99 but it works great.

I think that depends on the thickness, heaviness of the oil used. you might need to dilute it.

I takes less than what comes out of the pump. If you use the full amount, it can/will look oily. Use half the amount that comes out of the pump.

I measured the O.D. of the largest part of the barb with my caliper and it showed .305". The largest part of the fitting up against the nut, is .313". Mine came with a piece of tubing about 7" long to connect to the a 6 valve outlet port (included). The barbs on the oulet ports measured .205". I've had this air pump for 2 years now running non-stop with zero defects. If all the ports are used the pump is fairly quiet for its size and it really moves some air. When used with airstones the water looks like it boiling. It tends to run a little hot but this hasn't seemed to affect the pumps performance. This pump is little animal. I think it would air up a truck tire. I'd buy it again in a second. Hope this helps. I measured the O.D. of the largest part of the barb with my caliper and it showed .305".

I use AMSOIL bar and chain oil. It does tend to leak out a little if stored with the oil in the saw. It is a great little saw!

I've only used mine once, about 3 weeks ago. I changed the oil on my I/O. It took approximately 20 minutes to pump out 5 quarts with about a 3 ft lift.

so far, mine has not leaked at all and I use it maybe 2-3 times per year. I think it depends on a good seal and heavy grease. I have had other guns with lighter grease installed that were a mess. So far, this has been fine. HTH!

I haven't used with oil but with lemon and lime juices as well as simple syrups I have not had any issues with it dripping.

How to use it it is 1 quart of oil u use it just like you would anything else. My Mustang uses 6 quarts of oil so I out 5 of Mobil 1 and use this as well

It's manually oiled. I put a drop in mine each day before use and haven't had any problems.

I used my saw very heavily last winter (many of the branches were over 12' diameter), and cut enough logs to make 3 cords of firewood. I did not use sprocket lube and I didn't have any problems. While it doesn't seem essential, sprocket lube might extend the life of the bar.

I have found when you put it in the trap it is still there like it never got used? Some heavy oils get hard and globby then I have had to clean it with a tips and alcohol to get it out- maybe it's just me?

I never have had to use oil, just keep it clean use an air can and spray it clean and spray a little amount of WD40 on all moving parts
