I ran clean new safflower oil in a chain saw to lube chain when cut ice. Gotta make sure you clean it out or mix in some regular bar oil. Even the new safflower oil gunked up the oiler in the saw when it sat for a while. I had an awful time cleaning it out. I used gallons of fryer oil on bear baits and also as a trailing sent around DPs for coon. Mac "Never Forget Which Way Is Up"
