STIHL MS 362 C-M Professional Gas Chainsaw (59cc) - 20"

The STIHL MS 362 C-M is a mid-size professional chainsaw aimed at arborists, landowners, and forestry workers who need a saw capable of daily felling, bucking, and limbing without the bulk of a full-size forestry saw. Its 59cc engine and 20" bar strike a balance between cutting power and everyday maneuverability.

Automatic engine tuning

STIHL's M-Tronic engine management continuously adjusts ignition timing and fuel delivery, so the saw keeps performing consistently as elevation, temperature, and fuel quality change through the day, without manual carburetor adjustment.

Lower fuel use, fewer emissions

A stratified scavenging design and 2-MIX engine technology cut fuel consumption by up to 20% compared to older STIHL engines of similar size, while also reducing exhaust emissions.

Less time spent on maintenance

The Ematic bar and chain lubrication system reduces oil consumption by up to 50%, and long-life air filtration combined with a compensating carburetor extends the interval between services.

Frequently asked questions

What fuel mix does the MS 362 C-M require?

It runs on a two-stroke gasoline/oil mix; use the ratio specified in the STIHL owner's manual and fresh fuel to keep the M-Tronic system tuning correctly.

What size bar does it support?

The MS 362 C-M is rated for guide bars from 16" up to 25", with 20" being a common all-purpose choice for professional felling and bucking.

Does M-Tronic need to be manually adjusted?

No. M-Tronic automatically compensates for changing elevation, temperature, and fuel quality, so there's no carburetor adjustment needed in normal use.
