Has anyone ever used this quench oil? Is there anyone who can interpolate what type of oil it is (Fast, medium, normal) from the data sheet? It looks like it will cool about 204*F per second

Comparing what you have, to the MSD sheets I have on Parks AAA, and #50 quench oil. The Citgo oils appear to be a heavy viscosity and slow oils. Most oil Msd's give a nickel ball rating on cooling time with AAA oil at 9 - 11 seconds the #50 oil is 7 - 9 seconds. The Citgo shows a Quenchometer speed of 16.1 seconds for the 521 oil and a 17 seconds for the 624 oil. I do not know how well these ratings compare.

I know Jantz Supply sales this oil but this is about all I can help you with, I hope this was of some help.
