Features of Torco Sr-1 Engine Oil

 -

Product Description

	SR-1 is a selective cross blend of highly advanced 100% synthetic base oils and proprietary additives aimed at power efficiency and engine protection. SR-1's performance is not compromised by standardized additive technology or by our compe titors' price points, it is simply a purpose built, specialty formula designed to exceed the demands of high performance Japanese, European and US sports cars.

A combination of Generation-2 MPZ and low friction base oils reduce frictional losses to increase horsepower and torque by as much as 3%. A premium polymer and additive system controls viscosity for long term durability, maximum engine protection and eliminate engine deposits.

Torco SR-1 is the ultimate in high performance synthetic motor oil technology. No other synthetic motor oil meets the performance and protection benefits of SR-1. Features & Benefits

	• 100% Synthetic Formula

• Generation-2 MPZ frictional loss technology • Increases horsepower & torque • Reduces operating temperatures • Advanced engine protection Typical Uses

Features of Torco TBO -

Product Description

	Torco TBO Premium Break-in Oil is a blend of hydro-processed petroleum base stocks that clean and prepare new surfaces. Since the first start up of a new engine is critical to its life expectancy, TBO utilizes specially selected additives in order to protect vital race engine parts during the first startup. TBO cleansing agents “scrub down” any contaminants left in new engines from the production process and assure good cleansing of freshly machined parts. Using protective anti-wear chemistry allows mating surfaces to gently make contact during first new startup.

Torco TBO provides the proper film for new bearing protection and is made to withstand viscosity break down in order to maintain good strong parts separation films. This oil can also be used as a consistent monitor control oil or "reference oil" for engine studies using an engine dynamometer. Torco TBO contains a high percentage of “Zinc” anti-wear chemistry for proper valve train and new cam break-in protection. Features & Benefits

	-Prepares new surfaces

-Promotes proper seating of parts -Cleans surfaces -Good for engine Dyno flush -High Detergent chemistry -High Zinc content Typical Uses

	Recommended to be run for 30 minutes or longer on new or rebuilt engines for racing, high performance or street applications. Also, good for running in engines prior to switching to synthetic based motor oils.

Meets or Exceeds

	Follow manufacturer’s fill level requirements. Compatible with other petroleum and synthetic lubricants.

Torco Zinc Additive

Product Description

	“ZEP Protects Engines Better Than Motor Oil Alone”

The new API SL and SM motor oils will not protect High Performance engines installed in Hot Rods, Sports Cars, Classics, Muscle Cars and Exotics because “zinc,” the anti-wear chemical, is purposely removed. Torco “ZEP” is the SOLUTION…

ZEP contains Torco MPZ, a perfect balance of molybdenum, phosphorous and zinc, a “new” friction fighting chemistry that adds wear protection back into motor oils.

ZEP won’t rub off, wear off, scrape off or scuff off. For this reason, it is excellent for high-performance engines, especially those with flat tappet cams installed.

ZEP coats all engine parts and protects them from “dry starts,” a leading cause of engines damage in vehicles kept in storage and also vehicles driven infrequently. Features & Benefits

	-Puts wear protection back into your motor oil

-Protects engines during “dry starts”

-Protects engines during storage

-Increase mileage and horsepower

-Extends engine life and reduces repairs

Typical Uses

	For use in Hot Rods, Sports Cars, Classics, Muscle Cars and Exotics.

Excellent replacement for the now-obsolete GM EOS.

My Personal analysis will come at a later time.
