What kind of oil do you put in a Husqvarna chainsaw?
The company recommends the Husqvarna XP Professional Performance brand of synthetic two-cycle engine oil, mixed at the 50-to-1 ratio of 2.6 fluid ounces of oil to 1 gallon of unleaded mid-grade gasoline.
How much oil does a Husqvarna chainsaw take?
The ratio that is used when mixing 2 stroke oil and gasoline is very important, if there are ANY inaccuracies, your saw will not run efficiently. All Husqvarna chainsaws use the ratio of 50:1, this means that for every gallon of gas you will use 2.6 oz. of 2 stroke engine oil.
Where does the bar oil come out on a Husqvarna chainsaw?
It is a rotary-type screw on the underside of the chainsaw. Look carefully on the blade-side of the saw where the oil streams to the blade. Some Husqvarna chainsaw models include a picture of an oil drop above the oil-flow adjustment screw.
Why won’t my Husqvarna chainsaw oil the chain?
The first clue that the oil line on the Husqvarna chain saw may be clogged is when there’s little to no lubrication on the chain. The chain may run hotter than normal without the necessary oil to cool it. Symptoms of a hot chain include smoking during cutting and discoloration of the guide bar.
How does the oiler on a chainsaw work?
Specially engineered chainsaw bar oil goes into the oil reservoir. As you throttle up, a worm drive engages the pump to send oil through a port that releases onto the bar. As the chain moves across the bar, it distributes the oil across the surface, reducing the friction and the heat that occurs when cutting.
How do you change the oil on a Husqvarna chainsaw?
Look carefully on the blade-side of the saw where the oil streams to the blade. Some Husqvarna chainsaw models include a picture of an oil drop above the oil-flow adjustment screw. Turn the oi-flow adjustment screw clockwise to increase the oil flow or counterclockwise to decrease the oil flow by using a small, flat-head screwdriver.
What to do when your Husqvarna chainsaw is dry?
If the chain is dry, it requires more oil. Turn the screw counterclockwise to open the oiler up, allowing more oil to drip onto the chain. If the bottom half of the chainsaw is black from too much oil, turn the screw clockwise to tighten the oiler so that it cuts down on the amount of oil reaching the chain.

Why is oil leaking out of my Husqvarna chainsaw?
When adjusting the screw in either direction, turn the screw half a rotation at a time–even small adjustments will make a big impact. If the chainsaw has been sitting in a case or on a shelf for a while, it is normal for oil to leak out from the oiler.
