Ok - is there a rule-of-thumb for chain oiling that doesn't involve this level of test equipment?

A good quality bar and chain lube will not spray off the tip of the bar. You need the lube on the bottom of the bar since that is where you are cutting and the majority of the heat build up.

Interesting - that's how I've always checked for oiling. So if I'm getting some spray it either means I've got crappy lube, or I'm over-oiling. The latter shouldn't be a problem other then a messier saw - as long as I don't go through a tank of oil in less time then I go through one of gas.
