I've got a 441 on the way and I plan on using Stihl at 50:1 just like I put in every 2 cycle engine I got, except for my boat.
Oh, and I second the Wally World oil, and sometimes TSC has a good price.

I''d put old gas in the bar oil hole and used engine oil in the gas tank hole. Then throw the POS in the mail and give it to me by xmas.

By all means, Use Stihls bar oil and 2 stroke oil.CaseyForrest said:
Along with there bars, chains, files, and guides.
While you are there don't forget to accessorize you apparel.
you already have the chaps, don't know if you have the helmet.
I see you can listen to your favorite station with your ear muffs.
Soooo, pick yourself up a pair of Stihl gloves and ask about there boots.
maybe a coffee cup, Tee Shirt, hat, or suspenders.
Heck Stihl even has a Timber sports line of apparel. LOL
40:1 works for me.

Are you spying on me??
I actually like GB bars over Stihl, but Stihl bars are fine bars.
I can get Stihl chain for the same price at the dealer compared to any other chain that needs to be shipped. Same with the files.
I have a half-full 5-gallon bucket full of used motor oil that has a bunch of wood chips and the stuff that came off the workbench when I hit the grinder with the air hose. You're welcome to it, it'll make great bar lube. And the price is right!

I've heard that if you are really serious about seatin your new rings you need to first run them upside down for a few tanks and then install them rightside up. They say it's the best way to really get them seated.

Oh, and I forgot to mention another important thing: to be sure to store the saw in a north/south orientation during that run in period. If not possible, then make sure there are crystals nearby.

And if none of that is possible, I have it on good authority that you absolutely need to have half of the run in period occur on the west coast, preferrably in the vicinity of Seattle, Wa.

I wish you guys would stop joking about impending 441's. I'm a serious guy and I thought this was a serious site.
