It takes a 5/32" diameter file for that chain .

Hello Mav, just as an afterthought, I'd be using a P# 91Vjnoyesfookyou.

Just kiddin', but I'd try a 7/32nd or 13/64ths file.

For Oregon 91 (low-profile 3/8"), I believe 5/32" is the right size, as Scottr said....

7/32" and 13/64" is for full size (ordinary) 3/8" chain.
