This is old news but I didn‘t find any discussion about it. I have an MS361 with a MD of 06/10 and just recently purchased an EZ twist cap for the chain oil reservoir because of leaking issues. A couple of years ago I purchased a genuine Stihl fuel cap because the cap would leak even after I replaced the o-ring. The new cap has a blue instead of black o-ring for today‘s fuel I was told and has been working great. Apparently Stihl has a safety recall on cam lock fuel caps with the letter D embossed on the underside that has been in effect since 2011 because of warpage. I checked both old caps today and they have the letter D. If you have an older saw with a D fuel cap the dealer will replace it as it is Safety related. No idea on the chain oil one. FYI
