Do you fill the chain oil all the way to the top?

Turn the chainsaw on its side then fill. Leave about a half inch of space at the top thought or you will have spillage when you screw the top on.

yes, I usually do... I always fill gas tank and oil reservoir at the same time to be double sure it never runs out of bar oil; it doesn't leak normally.

Maybe the first time. Just what is in the hose, you can set to how much oil you need and just fill to the full line. I like mine it works great and once the hose is full I really can't see why any air goes in the system. If you had a retro fit fitting you could bleed the small amount of air out of the hose.

You'd need to take out the element & baskets, then the entire container that holds the oil can be lifted out so that you could drain the used oil. Hope this helped! :)

No, instructions just say to add it to the existing fluid. The stuff is VERY thick so takes awhile to pour it in. I've put about 5k miles since adding, still shifting a lot smoother.

I'm not sure where your talking about, but the general idea is to put oil on one part of the chain and as it turns it distributes the oil. I would be more concerned if it doesn't look like the whole chain is getting oiled. At least the inside surface of the chain should be getting oiled.

It has an automatic oiler that keeps the chain lubricated and it is adjustable, you can adjust the amount of oil that lubricates the chain.

No. Even so, it has a tight fit. If you fill the vessel with oil and then push the lid down into its seat, you will get a squirt of oil out the spout. Just saying that it works that well with no plastic or rubber seal. Fill only about 2/3, and then put your finger over the spout as you carefully seat the lid. I like this product for its simplicity and good construction.

No, not that I remember. Chain oil is readily available and is inexpensive.

Yes you can. Make sure you do not over fill the oil and lower the basket slowly.

Yes. It is fitted in the top so when you turn the bottle over the oil drops out instead of pouring out. You can remove it if you prefer to use the squeeze and fill type droppers.

No, it does not. It will not reach bottom, forcing you to up the oil amount. I bought both this and the 7 qt dutch oven and will be returning this piece.

Yes you can, and the drain incorporated in the pan is great for draining the excess oil.

No, you do not have to remove the oil between uses, I leave it in there indefinitely, and continue to fill it as needed

no drain thecontrols lift straight off the back so you can lift the oil container out. pour into old container and wash with soap and water

I did. I put in what I could fit and then the rest when the oil was low enough. I know for sure it can't hurt and it's not that expensive. I bought extra bottles in case I need them but so far I haven't. Hope this helps you. Ami.

dRIP use 30w oil, chain oil runs right through a good machine for the money

Chain oil is special. It is thicker than motor oil and sulfured. It is more like cutting fluid than lubricating oil.That said, using anything is what's important. Keep your chain oiled. The oiler in this saw sucks. You squeeze a rubber bulb that should dispense oil onto the chain, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Manually oil the chain every few cuts. At the minimum after installing a fresh battery.
