  I have no issues using canola in my Husqvarna 575, apart from a small amount leaking whilst it sits in the shed because it is a bit thinner…much less toxic and cheaper too.

    I remember looking into this a few years ago.
    Just had another look and was reminded why it doesn't suit me - long periods sitting in saw unused can cause binding.
    I use my saw sporadically, hence sticking with specific bar oil is safest (for me).

      Because of the leaking I always store the saw empty of bar oil - you have to check it every time you use it anyway so I just fill it before use.

  Under light use is fine but if you're cutting up dry wood or working it hard you will fry the bar and chain guaranteed.
