I've researched pretty extensively but have come up dry.

I have been using McMaster's 11 second quench on 10xx series & W1 with good results and mixed results with O1 because IMO it's too fast. Was thinking of trying McMaster's 28 second for O1 but think it may be a little slow.

Is anyone using it on O1 currently? What do you think?

I know there are a lot out of other options out there but before I go that route I'd like to find out about this product specifically. It's super easy to get because I have a McMaster 10 minutes from my office.

I know this is bordering on a "home brew" but I even thought of mixing 5 gallons of 28 second with 3 gallons of 11 second. From a purely mathematical perspective it should be a ~21.5 second oil ;)

Thanks
 
No opinions even?
 
Nathan says that the 28-second oil is good to go for O-1. I use Parks AAA for my O-1, but, I couldn't leave you hanging out there, brother.:)
 
Thanks for the info. I ordered some up to give it a shot, we'll see what happens.
