Chain lubricant


Shell chain saw oils are formulated specifically to protect the bars and chains of the high performance professional power saws used in the Canadian woodlands. These saws are subjected to severe operating conditions in high speed, high volume, logging operations where the highest factors of performance and reliability are demanded from fuels, lubricants and the saws themselves.


Shell chain saw oils are available in two grades, Light and Heavy, for use under all seasonal conditions. They are blended from HVI base stocks and contain an additive system essential to the protection of the power saw chain.
 

Chains and bars are subject to sliding friction which can displace a normal oil film in a very short time. Shell chain saw oils have a special tackifier that ensures that the film of oil ejected onto the operating chain does not fling off.


Shell chain saw oils should not be used as an engine oil in the power heads of saws; they are dyed a distinctive red colour so that saw operators will be able to differentiate between "chain" and "engine" oils.
