Buying Guide: Bar Oil and Chainsaw Chain

Bar and Chain Oil
Oregon bar and chain oil has high film-strength that helps prevent wear or scuffing of chain links and bars. It also protects metal parts against corrosion and rust. The oil is available as one option and as a pack of 4, which can help you keep a spare on hand.

Chainsaw Chain
The R50 AdvanceCut chain uses a .043 in. gauge narrow kerf cutting system that needs less power from the saw than standard cutting systems. It is suited to small, low powered saws used by landscapers and homeowners. Check your saw manual before ordering.
