    yes, what i'm using is just standard bar oil. If stihl uses some sort of specialty bar oil that's pretty ****ing sad. I remember my dad using you're standard bar oil when it was 10 degrees out, never had a lick of problem cutting. I guess they don't make **** like they used to. This will be the...

    sorry about the confusion. the saw has semi chisel, I was just responding to the user name "full chisel" in previous post. I've sharpened chains in the past but that was a poulan where you could get a bar and chain for about half the price of a stihl chain or it's equivalent. Just pisses me off...

    just bought an ms250 that came with an 18'' bar. would like to go to a 16'' bar. 18'' set up is .325 .063 with 68 drive links. can I just swap a 16'' bar with .325 .063 with 62 drive links or do I have to change the sprocket size/tooth count? cutting through a lot of oak tree tops on the...

    New ms250 want to go from 18'' bar to 16'' bar
