Maintenance Schedule - Husqvarna 356BTX-series Operator's Manual

Oiling the air filter
Always use HUSQVARNA filter oil, art. no. 531 00 60-76.
The filter oil contains a solvent to make it spread evenly
through the filter. You should therefore avoid skin contact.
Put the filter in a plastic bag and pour the filter oil over it.
Knead the plastic bag to distribute the oil. Squeeze the
excess oil out of the filter inside the plastic bag and pour
off the excess before fitting the filter to the machine. Never
use common engine oil. This would drain through the filter
quite quickly and collect in the bottom.
