Available power and the amount of oil may both be a limiting factors. Your oiler has a 3 position adjustment (as do most intermediate level Huskies) with 20" being the longest recommended. My 359 is virtually the same and I run a 24" Carlton bar on mine with no problem. If you opt for a longer bar let the saw determine cutting speed. Come on over, my bar and chain will fit your saw, try it before you buy it. If you have an acquaintance with a 24" small mount Husky bar that is probably a good idea. I would likely not recommend a 24" bar if regularly cutting Oak or a hard wood, I do a lot of Fir.
If you have more questions or need additional help please reply below and I will get back to you. HTH & Good Luck.

Thank You for using FixYa.
Depending on chain condition and wood, 20" bar may be a bit much. Even razor-sharp, in tough woods. Some say 16" bar is better-suited to this saw. That's so for full-comp chains. A sharp full-skip 20" chain can be buried in just about any wood. 24" bars can be had in K095 mount. A 24" full-skip chain would work pretty well on this saw, so long as it's kept suitably oiled.
