Use chainsaw chain oil, it's got a very sticky consistancy so that it is not thrown off of the chain by centrifugal force. You can get away with engine oil (not 2 stroke oil !!) at a pinch but you will have to keep a close eye on the level as it will be pumped out faster than proper chain oil.
Hope this helps, regards, John.
