I have a stihl ms 270 and I believe the roller bearing under the sprocket needs lubricant. What should I use?
Clutch/sprocket roller bearing grease?

I always use regular bearing grease on a Q-tip. You don't need much.
there might even be a weep hole on the shaft just for that purpose. I use my bar nose greaser and press it into the hole at the end if the shaft. Seems some brands/models have it and some don't. I'm pretty sure my husky 359 has it. Not sure about stihl.

I just use 30 weight motor oil, it's in a oil can, so I just squeeze the lever a few times and pump it full of oil. Works excellent. I do this every other time I sharpen the chain. Part of my maintenence scedule for the saws. Never had a problem. (knock on wood, don't need Murphy to fall on me anytime soon)
Its a new one, right out of the bag. The old sprocket/drum decided they didn't like each other any more and divorced.....
:agree2:
I use the red high temp wheel bearing grease in all my bearings. The Husqvarna 372 shop manual shows to just use grease, does not specify any particular type of grease.

Hold on a minute... are we talking about the sproket on the nose of the bar, or the one that the clutch drum rides on? If it's the former, my post above is what I do. If it's the latter, I use some good bearing grease.
