Newbie with Echo CS-590

My 590 feels like it puts out plenty of oil for a 20” bar. Did you turn the oiler up all the way on yours? Mine wasn’t fully open from the factory

I just bought a new 590, how do you turn up the oiler, I can hardly see any coming from mine!

There’s a screw on the bottom of the saw, turn it all the way CCW, that’ll open it up and get the oil flowing nicely

My 590 just went from 8000 RPM - pulling solid in a log - to 10,000 RM, by changing fuel. I had been using Liberty non-ethanol 87 octane (that's what the station carries). Then I found a Pure Gas station that carries 93 octane non-ethanol. The saw became the animal it's supposed to be. Another saw of mine had been difficult to find the tuning sweet-spot with the 87, but also responded nicely with the Pure 93. It's worth the addition $0.50 per gal.

What cuttinstihl said. Plus, if you look at the bottom of the saw, you'll see a little embossed figure where the adjustment screw is.

I've run Sunoco canned fuel (93 octane) since my saw was new.
Doing more cutting this year so I'll be going to gas station non ethanol and my mixing myself.
Hopefully my local stations will have non ethanol in 93 octane.

I have seen it from 89-93 in michigan with 89 or 91 being most common
