What is the recommended type of oil to put into the oil tank of this chainsaw and where can it be purchased?

Any oil for chain saw is fine. I got mine from amazon when I ordered the chain saw.

i don't know. we just use what we use for our other chain saws. you do need special exten cords for it. the ones higher rated.

I don't know what the right oil to use is but I used heavy duty gear oil. Mine leaks too but I don't use it enough to worry about. For the price, I'm quite happy with it.

Chain oil is special. It is thicker than motor oil and sulfured. It is more like cutting fluid than lubricating oil.That said, using anything is what's important. Keep your chain oiled. The oiler in this saw sucks. You squeeze a rubber bulb that should dispense oil onto the chain, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Manually oil the chain every few cuts. At the minimum after installing a fresh battery.

the unit is self doesn't require oil, it is battery powered. You will need to lubricate the chain, with chain oil, as used on a chainsaw.

You will want to purchase a high-quality 5W-30 or synthetic 0W-30, 4-cycle motor oil

Based on the Makita manual any straight weight (non-detergent) oil such as SAE 10W, 20W or 30W is acceptable, last I checked this oil is available almost everywhere. The determining factor for which oil to use is dependent on temperature. From page 12 of the owners manual: -16C TO 0C (3.2F - 32F) = SAE 10W, 1C TO 26C (33.8F - 78.8F) = SAE 20W, ABOVE 27C (80.6F) = SAE 30W Just got off the phone with Makita Tech Support (800-462-5482) and inquired about the filters. The air filter (element) part number is 171006-E. According to Tech Support Home Depot either carries them or can special order. After searching the part number online, several sites carry them but they are pricey at about $20 + shipping. Since it looks very similar to other gas powered mower filters it might be worthwhile to remove the filter and bring it along to see if any big box stores have one that is dimensionally the same.

The manual says to use Shell #40 or Shell #15/40, but neither of those were available locally so I have used a good oil #10/40, and it works well and seems to keep the hammer running well.

I use Pro-Select Premium Bar & Chain Oil (for use with all chainsaws) from Lowe's.

manufacturer recommends a # 3634 (26 RM3 67) OILOMATIC chain. The saw is no longer in production, but the chain is still available. the Oregon D72 20 inch will definitely not work as the model saw you have needs a 16 inch chain

Bob, I read the same reviews although I found several that we're very positive. I purchased the saw with great hopes. I can only tell you that after using the saw for several hours at a time on several occasions I have not had any issues nor has the saw leaked any chain oil.

Before each use a few drops of air tool oil in the air tube before connecting to the hose. Oil is available at any depot or lowes

Generic oil works fine. As with most chainsaws, store it level to prevent leaking. (I'm not sure it would leak, but better safe than sorry.)

I bought mine from Amazon and got my oil from my regular oils shop in town -making sure to the oil for "burning"

Use Rotella T1 oil.I purchased this product and it broke before I even used it. It is not worth the money IMO. I replaced it with a Bosch hammer and it is much better quality. The Bosch hammer was about $750.00 though.

I have no experience with the product you identified. However, chain oil is designed to hang on to the bar and chain at the temperatures they operate at and provide cooling and cleaning to the clain. Also the issue is will the "wonder product" flow properly thru the saw pump at the right viscosity. The oil cleans the bar of saw dust as well a lubricating. I see no advantage in trying to "improve" on the process with a "wonder lubricant". I use chain saw bar oil, Husquavarna, and have had no problems. Remember in a chainsaw, oil is a consumable and disposable. Best Wishes I have no experience with the product you identified.

Not sure but I wouldn't recommend buying. The chainsaw oil hole keeps getting clogged which dries the chainsaw links. It jams constantly
