Well, after running it a bit more and seeing how much was being sprayed off, I decided it was probably OK and started cutting. I kept a close eye on the chain for overheating, but it worked fine! I took down two ponderosas - one about 16" diameter at the base, and the other probabaly about 20" at the base - the saw worked beautifully! Much better then the old Poulan. Where I would have to really work to get the poulan through those logs - overheating & dulling the chain in the process - the Stihl just walked through it! I may keep the poulan around for a backup/limbing saw, just because it's so light and I probably won't get squat for it if I try to sell it anyway.

Thanks guys
