Oilier adjustment for Lite Bars

[redneckhillbilly]

Just had a question after running my 592 with Husqvarna Lite Bar, the only saw with a Lite Bar I have ever ran, do the Lite Bars require a different amount of oil due to the difference in materials? I have the oiler turned up almost all the way and I dont really see the oil in the chain as much as I can with a standard bar, I know I know I am overthinking this, but what do others do? give them less oil, or more oil?

Check the oil holes in the bar. My guess is the older bar has bigger holes.

Isn’t there a trick with the 5 series to get more outta the oiler?

Probably a bar issue. lm running a 32” .404 Oregon RW bar and not a oil issue, Open factory holes up sum , some times that lacquer finish get clogged up in holes ,

the saw goes through oil, and I can tell the chain is oiling, but its harder to see it, maybe its just the stainless color of the bar that hides the oil better, I was wondering if by design they require a different adjustment than a standard bar, but it doesnt sound like that is the case.

That!

Manufacturers tend to make the bars oiler holes much more restricted than in the olden days.
