Chainsaw supplies in Ensenada?


Hi all,

Having a hell of a time finding any store in Ensenada that carries bar oil, and replacement chains for Stihl chainsaws.
I know I can go to Masons in El Cajon but I'd rather not deal with the frontera if at all possible.
Been to Home Depot they sell the saws but no oil, guess they just use motor oil?:P

You've checked around San Quintin? Being an agricultural area I wouldn't be surprised if you found something there.

Hmm I've always wondered if the chain oil thing was just marketing bs, although it probably does make the bar last a little longer than regular oil.

Roberto- I will ask around San Quintin, also Juan up at Projecto Condor probably knows too.
I have a lot of years worth of fallen dead encinos to cut up for firewood!
