No, I have used saws for 25 years in many different places and never suspected that atmosphere, temperature, climate, barometric pressure had any noticeable affect on bar oiling. I'm glad you have given the saw to a friend to check over, that's what I suggested.

The 3005 Stihl bars are like that under the paint when new.

As far as videos go, try uploading shorter length ones. The video of my ms180 was 19 seconds. Several shorter videos each with a different post might help.

Upload to YT and post a link.
Although if internet connectivity is the issue, that may not help.

Question to the OP :
Have you used a torque wrench during the rebuilding/servicing/repairing on these saws?
What all these saws have in common is that they are mostly made
of polymer .They have plenty of "P" and "DG" screws as long as few other that are 't of either kind that they need to be tightened to their exact torque
requirements,otherwise all sorts of cracking ,chipping ,bending and wrapping
can occur at the most unexpected places
( ask me how do I know ... ) .
A torque wrench is a must-have tool when working with those plastic housings,covers ,boxes,
handles and stuff .
Think of it .There are five saws that seem to have the same or similar oiling issue ,which defies physics ( and No it can not be happening due to barometric pressure anomalies of any sort .
Not inside the range which would allow for life to exist ,at least. ) .
It may as well be another reason ,
which all the saws share ,that influences oiling with a chain on .
Just saying...

"neighbor" the Tennessee version of canadian "friend"
I have experienced the Stihl bar paint flaking off and getting stuck to the bar plate/bar/case creating a uneven surface that the bar will not properly seal against substantially reducing oil flow into the bar.

Good to know.
Post up a pic of the forester bar you're putting on the saws that dont oil.
I'm guessing it's a multi fit bar with adjuster holes that oil too.
Sometimes the bar oil runs out of the adjuster hole instead of out the top oil hole where it needs to be.
Jam something into the top adjuster hole to fix this.
