Klotz Oil Thread

[Marshy]

Anyone use it for saws? I sold my sled a year ago and have a gallon of the stuff. It says injection or premix oil. Yes I know it's for liquid cooled motors. Stay away or run it? Considering using it for general cutting and milling.

Interesting, it says maximum rpm 10,000 in the spec sheet. Maybe it would be good for the mill rig (stock 394) but not the ported CS2159.

Well it says that it's FD rated so I'd use it without hesitation. Although I was under the impression that two cycle oil couldn't be both Jaso rated and TCW rated.

 

[Marshy]

For reference... these two might be a better choice for chainsaws. Look at the air cooled Kart mix recommendations and they say 25:1 or richer (depending which). Maybe if I use TC-W3 I should mix it rich also... as in, not 42:1 but like 30:1.

It’s the same rating as original techni plate. I’d run it without hesitation. Super is castor and R50 won’t burn unless milling. It will run out the muffler. It will protect great but robs some power

I ran R-50. Smells soo good! Reminds me of my youth watching moto races. It gums up everything but the mill saw, like Mike mentioned. Keep a real close eye on it.
Jonsered 2150 (red Husky 350), 40/1 with a good tune.

Those were the first thing that came to mind when I saw this thread

I still run Benol

I still run Benol

I'm running RA to clean up all my other saws.

 

[Marshy]

Maybe I'll stick with mostly chainsaw oil to make my 42:1 then add a little Klotz on top. Custom blend. I dont think I'll use it as the primary lubricant.

Why take a chance with $1,000 saw?

 

[Marshy]

What chance? I only run 40-42:1 in my saws. Milling or not. I dont see any harm in adding up to 1 oz more per gal of Klotz on top of that...

I run snowmobile techniplate in all my work saws...Haven't had a problem....Plus the thinner viscosity in colder temps help me start them easier....I don't tear my saws down every tank of gas worried about a little carbon buildup...It's a two stroke....

Would running it at say a 60:1 make it less gummy in there?

 

[sawmikaze]

I run chainsaw oil at 50:1 everyday of my life and still haven't lost one lol.

That thought crossed my mind but I wouldn’t claim to know. @bwalker might. I doesn’t do that when milling with the 394.
