You need “Bar and Chain Oil”, available at hardware stores and home centers. It is SAE 30 (30 weight non-detergent oil) 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. http://shoppingcart.msservicecompany.com/msservice_net/product_files/113005-01D/113005-01D_OM.pdf If you have more questions or need additional help please reply below and I will get back to you.
