A agree with pretty much everything listed below. I run a Stihl 044 and an 021, and although they don't throw nearly as much oil off as older saws, I have had zero chain lube problems. They changed the oilers because older saws simly overlubricate the chain, which causes sawdust and crap to build up under the covers. Ideally, you should run out of gas, and still have some oil in the reservoir. I make it a habit to top off my oil everytime I fill with gas, but my saws are pretty darn fuel-efficient, so a tank of gas lasts a while. I wouldn't suggest turning the oil up much, if at all. And like was said, use a good quality bar oil.
