SAE 30 motor oil if the temperature is between 30 & 75°F.
-Colder use SAE 10 oil.
-Warmer use SAE 40 oil.
take a look on amazon: Amazon com SAE 30 motor oil
You need “Bar and Chain Oil”, available at hardware stores and home centers. It is SAE 30 with additives to make it adhere to your bar and chain.
An excerpt from a Remington manual follows (edited).
FILLING OIL TANK
1. Remove oil cap.
2. Fill oil tank with SAE 30 motor oil if the temperature is between 30 & 75°F.
• Colder use SAE 10 oil.
• Warmer use SAE 40 oil.
3. Replace oil cap at once. Tighten oil cap firmly for a good seal. This will avoid oil seepage from tank.
4. Wipe off excess oil.
• It is normal for oil to seep when saw is not in use.
• Empty oil tank after each use to prevent seepage.
Some manuals go from page 6 to page 14. This one is very good.

Thank You for using FixYa.
The manual is very clear about NOT using bar and chain oil. Its too thick and from many reviews this has created problems. Plain old 30w is to be used
It says right on the site that sells this saw not to use bar & chain oil.
