There's a lot of factors when it comes to compatibility between chainsaws, bars, and chains, it's not just "if its the same length it's good to go". There are two major factors with a chainsaw bar besides the obvious length - chain pitch/width and bar mount. Different chainsaw bars have different chain pitches/widths and may not be cross-compatible with each other despite being the same length, which applies not only to the chains themselves but also the chainsaws, which may have sprockets that are only compatible with a specific pitch of chain.
The biggest factor with chainsaw bar compatibility is what's called the "bar mount". This is the shape/pattern of the bar at the tail-end where it attaches to the chainsaw, including where the cutouts and holes are for the oilers. Bar mounts are semi-standardized, in that you can look up the type of mount a specific chainsaw has and any bar of that mount should fit on it, even if it's from a different brand. Oregon bars list their mount pattern at the end of the product number - for example, "240RNDD025" is a D025 mount bar.
As far as finding what bar mount your saw uses, and what bar mount a specific bar uses (because they often don't state it explicitly), you can use Oregon's bar and chain finder tool on their site. Plug in your chainsaw, and it will tell you what Oregon products fit it - which will, in turn, indirectly tell you what the bar mount, chain pitch, etc of your chainsaw is. You can then plug the chainsaw that a bar is "intended" for (ie: whatever Ego saw this bar is meant to fit) into that same tool and find out what the mount, pitch, etc for that saw are as well. If they're the same mount and pitch/width, you're probably good to go.
You can sometimes modify bars to fit other chainsaws, but I would only bother doing that with obscure or vintage saws where the "correct" bar is prohibitively expensive compared to modifying an Oregon bar. In your case, and the case of others in a similar situation: use the tool on Oregon's site to compare your saw against the saw this bar is intended for.

Additionally, you will probably overload the 16" motor if you do a lot of cuts with an 18" bar and chain.
I use my chain saws for home use only.
If you add grease to the front sprocket and ensure the chain/bar oiler is working and full of oil, the original bar will last a long time. How long is dependent on how much you use the saw.
I blow my chainsaw out with compressed air after every use. I verify the oiler is working, keep the sprocket well-greased and have never replaced a bar but have sharpened many chains.

The advice on greasing the sprocket is right on. People forget to do this and saw will loose power and the bar will wear faster. Buy yourself a grease gun for the sprocket and keep it lubed as part of reg maintenance and your bar will last a long time
