I changed this bar out about 16 months ago. Im on my 4th or 5th chain , i wear them down to knubbins, before i change them out.
My saw usage changed , i used to go through 1 chain a year and get 3 maybe 4 years usage.
When i started greasing on this bar , this was the first time, doing this as a experiment. I use the cheap $5gal bar oil, instead of the stihl on this bar. Oil usage is the same rate. The bar just runs faster and cooler. I think it is worth it. I have a little heat wear on the nose but none on the channel. Where it normal heats up. The sleigh footing has been minimal. Ive cut between 40 and 50 cords with this bar
