By Brian Havins March 01, 2019Usually, when we talk about performance, it has to do with items like turbos, superchargers, nitrous, and cams. One thing that gets left out of the conversation in the hunt for more power is oil. After all, oil is there for protection and doesn’t help you in the horsepower department right?While this may sound right to you, this is not a rational thought to the crew over at Torco Advanced Lubricants. With over sixty years of lubrication experience, they have been able to take on a growing segment in the automotive industry, high-performance street oil. They have formulated an oil that will not only protect your modern engine better than anything else on the market, but it’s also compliant with the latest API ratings.The SR-1 Super Street Series by Torco was developed explicitly for the high-performance streetcar. According to Ernie Soliz of Torco Advanced Lubricants, “We have put together an over-treat additive system to increase anti-wear that is not dependent on high levels of phosphorus as a carrier. This makes it compliant with new car manufacturers by meeting the latest API rating and European specifications. This design keeps the SR-1 Super Street Oil catalytic converter and O2 sensor safe, all the while increasing wear protection in your engine.”Torco SR-1 offers the latest in high-performance synthetic motor oil technology. This highly advanced 100 percent synthetic based oil and proprietary additive system is intended to increase power while protecting the engine. With a combination of Generation-2 MPZ® and a low friction base oil can increase horsepower and torque by as much as 3 percent. A premium polymer and additive system controls viscosity for long term durability, maximum engine protection and eliminate engine deposits.If you change your oil in your street car, there is no reason not to use Torco SR-1. The performance of SR-1 is uncompromised and uses elements beyond regulated passenger additive technology. This results in an oil that offers outstanding protection, catalytic converter and O2 sensor safe, reduces operating temperature and increases horsepower and torque.
