Hi all!
Clarifying question for folks:

Is it ok to just stock white 462c filters for all 46s (Keep It Simple Stupid) or is there a reason to run different filters / adding the tan pre-filters / foam inner-filters on the older models?

I recently requested a spare filter set for every Stihl saw in our city fleet. They ordered the white filter for 462c, and the black with/without pre-filter for 460&461 since that is what the parts diagram showed. Now I see a foam inner-filter is also a thing...

Whoops yep just a modern-looking white filter for a 461 vs a black filter/prefilter combo on the 460 that threw me off. Any reason not to use the modern-looking white ones in future orders?

I do cut a fair amount of wood, but it's just an excuse to play with saws. Truth be told, my actual needs could be met with just my Echo CS-400, but what fun is just having one saw? If the 251 is still there when I bail out a layaway next week I may see if I can get a deal on it. Our state government uses MS-250's pretty much exclusively, and those guys are not kind to their equipment.

Did you buy it ?
