Tacky petroleum bar oil zings off the front of the bar, as evidenced by the clear and indisputable fact that one tank of oil in = one tank of oil out, and the tank of oil that has left the tank is not on the chain, except for a very small amount we can refer to as a 'coating'.


So this 'zinging off the front of the bar' distinction between canola and petro bar oil is hardly a distinction. Its more a comparison than a contrast, how they are alike.


I've used vegetable oil in my saws for so many years now I've lost count.
