What kind of oil do I need to maintain an electric saw blade?
the manual will say if oil is needed and what oil.
but in general with any type of carbon based blades or saws that rust, a multipurpose oil on a rag and then wipe then down after every use.
i use duck oil for that, its similar to wd40 but better, its more oily and does not dry out as fast

Wd40 isn’t a lubricant it’s a (W)ater (D)isplacer.

Yes indeed.
Your be better off just using vegetable oil from your kitchen.
In fact, that would probably be as good as most things anyway.

What kind of saw, like an electric chain saw?
If so there's specific chainsaw oil or do you mean to stop it rusting while its in storage?
I keep a bottle of old engine oil and a rag to wipe down all my garden tools.

For garden tools, I have a pot of chainsaw oil and a brush to apply. It's a thick, clingy oil. For wood working tools, I use a spray silicone oil. It's clean and pretty much invisible.

Would that not just be 3-in-1?
