Ive had a 270 and 271,neither are adjustable.As long as the bar rails and the oil hole in the bar are clean,and your usin at least half a tank of oil to a tank of gas,its fine

I was always told it should use approx one tank of oil to a tank of fuel, have I been told wrong?

Well, the user manuals are at Stihls US website, and you obviously had access to a computer. In the meantime I looked it up there, and it doesn't have an adjustable oiler.

Newer Stihl saws generally have somewhat restricted oilers, so they often don't use anywhere close to a full tank of oil for a tank of fuel.

The three 2012 model Stihl's I use fuel and oil run out about time; fuel does run out first thu :msp_thumbup:

In a perfect world.But the oilers are restricted now .No oil at idle.So about half tank of oil to tank of gas is the norm.So its even more important now than ever to keep the oiler hole and bar rails clean.Run the chain just a hair looser than normal.The 270 is a good little saw,the 271 that took its place is a bit heavier,but still a good saw for the money.Dont know how long a bar you are running,but I ran a 16" on mine and it oiled fine,not excessive,but enough oil to keep the chain turnin.And I also took pride knowing I was saving the canadian frog thistle by not sprayin oil on it

Most homeowner and mid-grade saws are designed so that you always run out of gas before oil.
