3 times the price of standard bars though

lasted 3x longer so far..( actually longer i think its been 10 years of average estate winter felling). plus the weight means i can work longer..

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.

I'm not sure that's right Stihl have an aspen equivalent which they sell through their dealers

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.

For chain/ bar replacement Just go on any bar/ chain supply site and there will be a choice of chainsaws, just scroll to yours and it will offer choices of bars and chains to suit or that were standard/recomended for that particular make and model.
Its very easy and you don't even need to need to know chain type previously.

The only time you'll need to know chain type is for file size to sharpen and thats easy enough to find out.
