Frequently Asked Questions

What chain does a Stihl MS362 or MS462 take?

Most MS362 and MS462 saws run 3/8" pitch × .063" (1.6mm) chain. Common drive links: 16" ≈ 60–66 DL, 18" ≈ 66–72 DL, 20" ≈ 72 DL. Always check the stamp on the motor end of your bar.

Will Sugihara, Oregon, or Tsumura bars fit my MS362/MS462?

Yes. Any bar made for the matching Stihl professional mount with the correct pitch and gauge will fit. Solid-billet bars from Sugihara and Tsumura are popular upgrades for stiffness and durability on these saws.

What is the best bar length for an MS362 or MS462?

The 18" (≈66–72 DL) and 20" (≈72 DL) are the most common and best balanced lengths for daily professional work. The MS462 handles longer bars (25"+) more comfortably than the MS362.

Do I need a new sprocket?

Only if the current one is worn (deep grooves) or you are changing pitch. Standard 3/8" setups use the original sprocket.
