Zwiser Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Can I use bar and chain oil to lube up my chain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullThrottle_06' Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 I prefer to use a special "hand blend" that I whip up here at the house my self. It puts a little more swagga on the bike to make more your own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NetBSD Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 i use anything laying around. bar oil, 2 stroke oil, veggy oil (once. i was desperate lol), engine oil, wd-40, pb blaster.... to name a few. lube is lube, BUT i will not say the chain will last as long.

bansheesandrider Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Can I use bar and chain oil to lube up my chain? Is it O ring safe? You reap what you sow and you get what you pay for when it comes to oil and chains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coupelx Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 oring chain really doesnt need oiled. i never do anything more to mine other than wd40 after i wash it to get the water off and chain wax when i store it while im on the road all summer. ive had it for 2 years and its still lookin good. i might replace it just to say i did but otherwise Interesting fact, We do not oil any of the non oring chains on our combines. This increases the life 10x over keeping them oiled because of the dirt the oil attracts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coupelx Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 i use a non oring chain i would get something for atv chains that doesnt stay sticky. chainwax is nice but it builds up between the links and needs cleaned out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zwiser Posted January 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Ive been using Napa brand chain lube that foams up and it doesn't stick to dirt, but our Napa just closed down in my area. so I was looking for a easier to find lube.
