I use Stihl oil too. But I only have summer and winter oil. No medium.

Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

I farm spring and fall. So I have to cut wood in the summer and winter. But winters here are pretty mild. Prolly why I use so much oil.I never buy the summer oil, when it's that hot, my saw stays in the shed..... I only use the light on the lathe and stick with medium in the saw year round. If it's too cold for medium, it's too cold for me.

Winter is my time for firewood as well. We are also fortunate to have a mild climate with very little annual precipitation, but it is just too dry for me to run the risk of fire by cutting in the summer. About -4c is the sweet spot for me running the saw, but it can be as cold as -15 to -20 or so if the wind is calm when it comes time to split it. I still enjoy the time spent with a splitting maul and have resisted the urge to build a log splitter. Splitting wood is a peaceful way to spend some time, and as long as you are at it everyone stays away out of fear they may have to help. A real win win situation.
