Bought this new today for $449.95 and it was serviced by the dealer.When I got home I checked the fuel,-full. Next,I checked the oil for the bar and chain,-full. I then had some trouble getting one of the "New Style caps" to go back on, so I played with it for a few moments, and when I thought I had it where it was supposed to go, I pushed down on the lever that locks the cap down, and it broke into 4 seperate pieces,and almost hit me in the eye too! I'll have to go get another cap before I leave to go do tree work in the morning. It would seem that Stihl has made a mistake trying to improve on a non-existent problem. What do any of you timber bears think about this ??? Thanks, chainsaw

You'll get used to them. And besides, that's a small thing to deal with, when you've got the best saw money can buy. Had mine long enough to run about 15 tanks of gas through it, and wouldn't trade it for anything.

Seems like these are either loved or hated. I have been using them on my MS200T for a year and a half and never a problem. I never had a problem with the old screw on caps coming loose either, never used a screwdriver on them and have four of those saws still. I know some people have had trouble with the caps loosening, why would Stihl caution you to always use a scrench to tighten caps if some people didn't have problems? Someones gonna sue Stihl if their cap falls off for what-ever reason and they get burned.
