This Sunday I went to pick up an 036 I found on Craigslist for a decent price. When I got there the guy had a shop full of saws he'd repaired and was reselling. I ended up with an MS362 that looked nearly new. I still prefer the look of the classic 0-series Stihl saws but they're all getting older and the deal was right on this newer saw.
Bought a new(to me) chainsaw

The newer saws just don't put out enough bar oil to keep the bar from getting hot. Why the gov didn't make manufactures formulate a decent soy base oil is well, like the goverment. I have a pair that should last me till I don't want to cut no more. I could rebuild the pair of Husky 62s
I hope it oils well enough. I had that issue with a Husqvarna 350. Adjusted all the way up it just wouldn't put out enough oil to keep from smoking a bar and chain.
But if it doesn't I'll try to resell and go back to overworking my reliable old 029 Super.

I wouldn't say every saw... my new ECHO will make a mess if turned up. On our 034 the oil tends to sling off more regardless. I have no issues on the ECHO and haven't noticed any unusual/accelerated wear.
Seems older saws just threw around more oil, than newer designs... which, I don't think translates into heat or wear if the oil is on the ground and not chain.

A dull chain won't help either... I touch up a chain after every tank (2-3 file strokes), takes 10 min.

I did not know that. My Husky 346xp sure makes a mess with the oiler turned up to max. But it is 3 years old.
