I've got a new chainsaw, it uses an Oregon chain and bar, but can someone please tell me which part numbers or parts I need to buy when I come to replace them? Also what file set do I need? The numbers confuse the fudge out of me and I wanted to find out what stuff I have before the markings are worn off. The chain has '95' stamped on the drive links. It's an 18 inch bar.

Also, am I ok using Comma (red) fully synthetic 2 stroke oil in my saw, meets JASO FD etc? I've got a 5L drum of genuine husqvarna bio chain oil, I assume this is ok.

Thanks guys. Pictures are below.

Both oils will be fine but if your saw has a chain lube adjustment screw, you may need to cut the flow back just a little as bio oil is usually thinner than standard mineral oil. The oil tank may empty before the fuel tank.

Thank you, that is just the sort of info I was looking for. I didn't want to start using a brand new saw and use it with the 'wrong' oil or something. The saw does have a lubrication screw. It's an Efco.

What is the lifespan of mix?
l've had it in my saw
(Stihl 029) for over 6 months and it started and ran perfect yesterday.
Should it be stored empty or full or does it make little difference?
BTW l was told not to store it empty as seals will dry out. Maybe its not true.

I generally don't have any fuel and oil mixed lying about, I make it up and then use it. Certainly wouldn't have anything sat for 6 months, everything is used regularly here.

Actually, thinking about it, I think the manual for the saw states not to use alkyl fuel as the saw won't be tuned for it?

Don’t use aspen it’s awful stuff, you’ll burn up your saw as it runs too hot, there’s a reason they design these saws to run on petrol mix and because that’s what they should have in them. It’s nuts buying premix fuel at a silly cost. I’ve been told Stihl invalidate warranties for this. It isn’t tuned for that either god knows what the auto tune carb saws think of it,
If you have ever seen the demo they put on dealer desks with the styrofoam packing chips dissolving it isn’t styrofoam. We tried it with generic chips and they dissolve in both, clever deceptive marketing.

Don't leave bio oil for months, apparently it can go hard and strip the oil pump drive on some machines. I don't use but a message from a local friend very involved with saws.
