Beware of no name motor oil
There's been a lot of posts here debating the virtues of synthetic motor oil. I'm a firm believer of a good synthetic, but truthfully, name brand Dino oil is pretty darned good too. However, stay away...

My opinion. :p
I would never use motor oil in my chin saw for chain lube. Gotta have the high tack stuff.
I remember when my step-father went to work in the woods as a faller. He went to town and bought two Homelite 5/30 chain saws with 36 inch bars. Back then, everybody used the used oil (usually SAE 30) from their vehicles as bar oil. It worked.
Interesting. 19 oils banned, but only 8 brands. My first thought was "Are there really 19 brands of cheap motor oil?" Reading the article answered that question handily!
