Excellent post Stihl 1.
With a new bar and chain, put a extra bit of oil on the bar but i dont know if this does anything really, it just throws the oil off as soon as ya start cutting. Use viscous brand name bar oils. Adjust the oiler to full if your that worried, but make sure it dont run dry!
New saw, use fully synthetic oil only. Mix it exactly with high octane fuel, i use 98 octane. When running the saw in, dont thrash the hell out of it just ease it into lifes work, but after 3 tanks of fuel thrash it. Make sure you take it in for a 10hr tune service.
Keep using good oil and dont forget to clean the air filter!!!
Take it easy
