3.0 Peak HP 16'/41 cm remington

most any bar and chain oil for chain saws will work. The cheaper the better just make sure you keep the chain oiled up. if you can touch the chain and oil oil does'nt get on you you not using enoght and put oil right on the chain. certainly when you put the saw away to store it. even wrapping the bar and chain in a rag with oil in it is a good idea as it'll be ready for next time.

You need to use bar & chain oil. It's thicker and stickier that regular oil so it will stay on the bar and chain and not run out of the saw when you are done using it.

It uses oil only to lubricate the chain. The type of oil in not critical although special chain saw oil is available. If you use anything but chain saw blade oil, make sure that it is a light oil, both in viscosity and in colour because it is a total loss system and dark or dirty oil can become very messy. The chain adjustment is on the body at the end of the blade, it actually moves the blade in or out to set the chain tension. The chain should be tensioned that when it is pulled at the bottom, the guides of the chain should not quite come out of the slot in the blade. If the chain is too tight it overheats the blade and stretches the chain.

Mitch if you attempted what is in the manual, and it is not working we would have to see and touch the saw to determine what has failed. If you loosened the bar bolts before trying the adjuster and it did not work, I suggest a trip to a local saw shop.

Please do not punish my rating because you are unhappy with Remington. I provided a very helpful answer, just not the one you wanted to hear.

If it is a Remington model M30016US with a 16" bar "91VG058G" is the recommended chain from Oregon. If not you can get a pn here:

Where the bar meets the body of the saw there is an adjustment lug that will either push the bar outward tightening the chain or may be retracted allowing slack in the chain. When backed off (loosened) sufficiently, the chain may be removed for replacement. In order to use this feature, however, there are two bolts that secure the bar to the body that must be loosened prior to any adjustment and tightened bach up after making adjustments to the chain. The above will be enough to remove and replae the chain. If you are taking off the bar (that the chain runs on), you will need to remove the two bolts that were just loosened for the chain adjustment (above).

You can 14SC available online at www.masterparts.net you also can contact them toll free at 800-446-1446. They ship parts out very fast.

the chain should not be sagging from bottom of bar.when you tighten the chain push the nose of saw up so that all of the slack is out of the chain.chain should snap back in the bar if you pull the chain up and let go.when i adjust a chain i push the saw forward to make the bar go up and stay there while i tighten the nuts.hope this helps, let me know

There are one or two large nuts on the chain side. There is also a screw adjustment on the front where the bar or chain guide meets the saw. You loosen the nuts a bit (so that you can move the bar). Then you back the screw out to allow the bar to move back into the saw enough for you to put the chain back on the bar in the guide slot. Then you tighten that screw to the point that you can still push the chain around the bar (wear gloves) and there is very little slack under neath. Then you tighten the nuts. As you tighten them, pull up on the "nose" of the bar.

Make sure you keep oil in the reservoir and oil a lot as you cut. Keep the chain adjusted, they stretch as you use them. RTFM
