Non-Petroleum Based Lubricants and Oils
Non-petroleum based lubricants and oils provide a highly biodegradable, more environmentally responsible alternative to traditional oils. These ester- or vegetable-based oils are less harmful to humans, animals, microorganisms, and plants.

STIHL OILOMATIC® saw chains and Ematic™ guide bars offer optimal lubrication, longer wear and less oil consumption than conventional methods which can translate into significant cost savings.
Caring for nature
The STIHL Inc. “Caring for Nature” seal identifies its powered products and oils that are more environmentally conscious. For powered products, the seal signifies that they produce zero or low exhaust emissions. STIHL Inc. defines “low exhaust emissions” as being cleaner than EPA and/or CARB exhaust emission standards. For oils, the seal means that the oils are highly biodegradable, degrading by 80 percent or more within 21 days.
