Hi, W/D here.

I prefer bar oil myself, but the manufacturer prefers straight 30 weight oil.

I use the bar oil.

Best regards, --W/D--

    BTW, you are correct about the black knob. The bulb on top of the cap is pressed every few minutes to keep the bar lubricated. Press the black bulb in before you cut, placing oil on the bar and chain. When you've cut a bit, or when you notice that you don't see any oil on the bar or chain, it's tome to oil it again. With use, you'll develop a rhythm where the bar never lacks oil. It's hard to say just how often to oil the bar and chain, as it varies with what type of wood you are cutting, whether it is wet or dry, and so on. It is better to over oil than to under oil.

What type of oil does remington 3.5 electric saw uses?

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.

14" Remington chain replacement

I input "Remington; EL-1; 14"; All; All; All" here:
Oregon Bar & Chain Selector
http://www.oregonchain.com/pro/lookups/selguide.aspx?BusId=OCS&SellReg=USA&LangId=ENG
It returned "91VG050G, 91VX050G or 91VXL050G". Please read the triangular warning placards. The original chain is most likely green.

Column 4 says a 14" chain has 50 drive links (the part in the bar groove". Please count them, if you get a different number try a different length bar. The Oregon part number can be ordered on line or if given to a local merchant fabricated in their facility.

Remington 14'' limb&trim..chain questions

The honest answer to will any 14" chain fit is no! It is "YES" if it has 50 drive links, a 3/8 pitch, and a gauge of 0.050 will; provided you are using the original bar or a suitable substitute. Manufacturers almost never tell you these numbers. They want you to purchase replacements from them. Any merchant, that sells chain, given (50, 3/8, 0.050) this information can fabricate a replacement chain and unless you tell them differently it will most likely be a green chain. A local merchant will save shipping and handling fees. I enjoyed this exercise in painting with text. I hope you have a better understanding of your question. Thank You.

If you go here:
Oregon Bar & Chain Selector
http://www.oregonchain.com/pro/lookups/selguide.aspx?BusId=OCS&SellReg=USA&LangId=ENG
Input "Remington; LNT-2; 14"; All; All; All"
It tells you there are 50 drive links (the important part of length, ±1 drive link may still be 14” but will not fit); it has a pitch of 3/8 (there are other pitches available); it has a gauge of 0.050 (0.043 & 0.058 also common). If you read the Triangular information tags you will see different chains have more or less chance of kickback. I will not purchase anything with a green tag but have been using chainsaws since 1980 and wear full PPE. I hope this clarifies this part of your question.

A much better Remington explanation of chain installation.

My explanation/example (gas but similar). The repair is the same; burrs are often created when the chain comes off at speed.

What type of oil is used in the remington 16" chain saw?

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.

This is one of the most complete "Owners Manuals" Remington offers. If not your saw you can find your manual here:
Remington.com
http://www.desaparts.com/index.htm
  • Type "YourModelNo" into the "Model #:" window, then click search.
  • Click the YourModelNo - Remington Electric Chain Saw "View Model" link.
  • Click “View Owners Manual” or "View Illustrated Parts Breakdown" link.

Enter M15014US (your saw) in the “Search for your unit by Model” window. You can find both an Operator's Manual and IPL. I recommend you download both.


Item 4 lists available bars for your saw, a 14" bar for your saw is pn 114731-01S, $17.85 if available.
Item 5 lists available chains for your saw, a 14" chain for your saw is pn 114735-01S updates to M14SC
, $12.95 if available. You can probably take your chain to a neighborhood chainsaw shop and have a replacement made cheaper.


Remington has ceased production and replacement parts are limited to what is on hand. HTH
