Out here cutting, not using Klotz yet but I must say. I do not mind this Torco GP7 at 32:1

Is it okay to say this lol?

Not yet, Tomorrow the 661 or the 7900 will be given a diet of it. ( need some fuel only have 110 laying around)


Now with the Torco oil it has a viscosity rating of 7.98. Is this possibly to low?

At 32:1 one would seem to prefer that ratio with a lower viscosity oil correct?

I believe that would be correct but we need @mdavlee to jump in on that.

I'm not oil guru,I just talk about what I know and I know klotz is good oil and I think you will find that as well.

It smells like horsepower too.

Has any one used any of this oil or does it pique any ones interest?
I have always had good results with ConocoPhillips lubricates.

One thing I find interesting is that it is formulated for "High output commercial chainsaws".
I know the Rpm's it claims for a saw is a little far fetch though.

Whats your thoughts fellas?

I've never heard of it but it's probably good.

There rpm scale is optimistic.

Saw did not sieze with Torco, almost a couple gallons of it burned total ( not today)

Pulled the441 muffler and it is wet inside exhaust port has some excess oil coming out but not excessive. Crown has some carbon.

All in all I like the Torco at 32:1.
