Torco’s race specific MPZ technology reduces frictional losses for maximizing horsepower and torque. The protection the SR-1 and SR-5 brands offer are amazing.

Independent testing has shown gains with similar viscosity oils, when compared head to head. It is advisable to stay with recommended viscosities specified by the manufacturer, or engine builder.

Not all oils are created equal. My experience has been a 3% increase on all my race and street engines, when compared to popular synthetics. Many racers and enthusiasts can attest to this. Torco is our best kept secret...until recently!

Feel free to reach out to me or the Torco staff for more info.

Just did my 1 st SR-1 oil change last night. At idle I noticed a difference, cant wait to really test it, and see the consumption if any.

This oil, is apparently the best thing since sliced bread. lol j/k

How much do you guys in the states pay for a litre of Sr-1 ?

Generally, Oil that makes Hp does little good for the longevity of a motor. If this wasn't the case, everyone would use Royal Purple.

I hear the Torco rep , here in Canada, says that every major race team in the USA uses it. Name me one? And I am not talking Drag, cuz they only need about 10 seconds of longevity.

The day a W/C team or ALMS or WSB or even NASCAR team uses it , I may give it a try.

BTW, I was talking to a FF crew chief that was using Torco, and he said that 4 engine rebuild mean that MOtul is going back in the engines for 2005. Spun bearings on all Torco engines.
