"Use sump oil, and turn the chain oiler up full"
Sump oil (engine oil) contains detergents. Plenty of oil helps the cut and cools the chain. Sap doesn't stick to oil.
Most people won't use sump oil because it's "dirty and full of contaminants" and "it doesn't lubricate properly"
They fail to consider that the dust, dirt, and shavings from cutting timber are at least 50x more contamination than sump oil contains
And if it doesn't lubricate properly - well, what was it doing before you drained it from your engine?
More wear and tear from a stingey "proper chain oil" feed than a good flowing sump oiler.
I run a tank of sump oil per tank of fuel.
