Hello, The chain lubrication oil is called bar and chain oil. It is specially formulated to cling to the bar and chain to ensure maximum lubrication. You can obtain bar and chain oil at any hardware store or power equipment shop.
I put a new bar and chain on my craftsman 18" chainsaw because the chain keeps coming loose. I am still having the same problem, after running 10 seconds, the chain falls off.
Your chain saw is a manually oiled model which means YOU have to pump
it.YOU do not pour oil on the chain. An auto oiler model works without you doing anything, the pump is run by
the engine. A manual model, you pump the oiler The Chain saw has internal oil channels or holes to apply the oil directly under the chain and into the chain bar guide. Pouring oil on the guide or chain will NEVER lubricate the chain properly. Whomever gave you such an idea is just plain wrong. I sent
you the link to the owner manual and gave you a diagram. Click here
From page 9 of a M12510US (bar oil is SAE 30 with additives to help it adhere to the bar and chain): FILLING OIL TANK
1. Remove oil cap.
2. Fill oil tank with SAE #30 motor oil. Note: For temperatures below 30°F, use SAE #10 oil. For temperatures above 75°F, use SAE #40 oil. 3. Replace oil cap at once. Tighten oil cap firmly for good seal. This will avoid oil seepage from tank.
4. Wipe off excess oil.
Note: It is normal for oil to seep when saw is not in use. Empty oil tank after each use to prevent seepage.

If correctly set, the chain will throw a light, thin line of oil off of the tip after running a short time. Set a piece of pasteboard at an angle for a target.
If it is an electric chainsaw (not gas powered) then the only oil you need is chainsaw bar oil, which lubricates the chain and bar during use (self feeding system). This goes into the chamber at the top of the saw. You can buy chain/bar oil for chainsaws at any good hardware store or outdoor power equipment store. You can use any brand of chain bar oil, most are pretty good.
If it is a gas/petrol operated model, I will need to know the model number to advise on that.
hi cindilou50 check the oil filter from the oil tank,the oil line ,the worm gear and the oiler under the clutch.Clean the ways where the oil goes with compresed air.(after you fill out the oil tank)Also check the oil hose.
