Probably want to thin it down some if you do. I'm one of the chain bar oil people and I thin it 50/50 with mineral spirits. Works fine for me and I have a lifetime supply for $10 or so. Even if it sucks does it really matter? Chains are cheap consumable items. 10k miles, or 20k, 30k miles whoopty do. Of coarse you can say the same thing about chain lube. Sure $10 for a tiny bottle of lube is ridiculous but eh it last a year so who cares. I only did the bar chain oil thing because I was curious and now I have a huge jug of it so I might as well use it.
