25:1 fuel mix, local home depot and lowes sells 50:1 and 40:1. Where do I find 25:1 because the chainsaw only takes it?

Add 5.12 oz of 2 cycle oil per 1 gallon of fuel. I highly recommend using the higher octane gasoline.If you're comfortable playing with chemicals, add a splash of acetone in the mix. A little but goes a long way.

I use the same oil/gas mix I use in string trimmer! I mix mine at 40 to 1 ratio! My book and sticker on saw also recommend this mix! Never would get thing to start with a 25 to 1 mix ratio, I don't think! TOO OILY!

i'm not sure were you find the 25;1 mix but you can just use the 50;1 and cut it by using 2 gallons of gas per bottle of mix. now for the matter of fact; i just use the 50:1 mix that all my other 2 cycle engines use and the saw runs just fine. hope that helps!

I forgot what is in the book, but 25:1 is very unusual and very oily. I always used the 40:1 mixture in it, just like my other chainsaws and it ran fine. You get the little bottle and dump it into a gallon of gas. If you really want 25:1, put 2 of those little bottles in a gallon of gas.

Yes, .043 is the correct bar & chain, I found the saw can use the .050 because my wife was given the wrong bar (.050) & the .043 chain with a combo at a local store which will definitely not work! Chain wobbles in bar, took 1 cut to figure that out, the bars look alike except the .050 is slightly rounder on the end. So I bought a .050 chain to match the bar & it works fine. Of these two, the bars & chains must be matched on the bar gap & chain guide tail. The Stihl 180c is a newer version of the 018c (I have one of each) both will take the above mentioned bar & Chain combos & also the longer 16" Sets.

From Home Depot and also vendors on Amazon. For example, I purchased a good replacement chain by Oregon - here's the Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00004RA8A/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I ordered a replacement on Amazon. This chainsaw uses a Oregan 46 drive link micro-lite 3/8" pitch .043 " gauge, low kickback saw chain. # 90SG046G. The price was $17

Yes, must mix oil and gas and use a 50 to 1 ratio. 2.6 oz container of oil (you can buy Husqvarna oil in this size) to 1 gallon gas. The manufacturer recommends using at least a 89 octane gasoline. By the way, it is a great machine, starts easy, runs smooth and Husqvarna trimming line seems to be a step above the typical nylon line.

Comes with .095 and works fairly well, I use .105 Oregon line and it last longer, cuts better, and get the 5lb spool to save money. Go ahead and find a good resource for T25 replacement heads... you'll ware them out... I use eBay and have good luck there and they are always at Husqvarna 966674401 T25 Tap Trimmer Advance Head, Curved and Straight Shafts Ready for you.

Yes, best available. However use non ethanol gasoline, and a fuel stabilizer as well as synthetic oil for the mix.My favorite "lightweight" saw ever!

Not trying to dodge this... I just don't know. I had the same problem and I went to their website:http://www.oregonproducts.com/pro/lookups/selguide.aspx?BusId=OCS&SellReg;=USA&Lang;Id=ENG and looked up my chain saw. They have the parts color coded to the size of the replacement kit you need. Check it out.

It says right on the Husqvarna website, chainsaw and fuel must be on the same invoice. I just registered my 372XP yesterday and got the 2 year extension. If they are not enforcing their own rule that is good, but you might contact them to see for sure.

It is a fuel designed with a higher octane specifically for small engines. Not only is it a far superior fuel than you get at the pump but it is guarantied to last in your saw and remain usable for 2 years without any gumming of your carb. My local sales agent for Husqvarna uses it in all his saws no matter who makes it. It is a bit expensive but worth every penny in my estimation,

standard chain saw oil, not 2 cycle, it will say to lube chain. i live in nyc and can buy at any local hardware store/ home depot/or amazon

I did a little research! Found a Web site that said Electrolux is the same in chainsaws, that mtd is in lawnmowers! I bought a 450WA little over a year ago,I am very happy with it! I think in this day and age look for what you want to do with it, and in your budget, and the warranty! Base your decision on that! Shop Amazon,I did got the saw with no frt.charge or tax!

NOTHING to mix. price per gallon expensive, but I'm not a heavy saw user and saw now not gummed up by old fuel.

I use regular chainsaw oil, any good oil to keep the chain lubricated should be fine.

No chain oil in the box. Buy a quart yourself and it will last for many hours of wood cutting. If you want to keep the chain sharp I also recommend you purchase a 5/32" round file (and a file holder) from a mower/saw/hardware shop and follow the simple directions.
