Torco TR-1R Racing Mineral Oil: The Professional Choice for High-Load Engines

If you’re running a high-performance racing engine that demands the cushioning and sealing properties of a premium mineral oil, Torco TR-1R Racing Motor Oil is the industry benchmark. Evolved from the legendary MPZ racing formulas of the 1950s, TR-1R combines hydro-processed petroleum base stocks with modern polymer technology. It is specifically engineered to provide unequaled anti-friction protection and superior ring seal for engines running under extreme RPM and high-temperature conditions.

Why Choose Torco TR-1R Mineral Racing Oil?

Torco TR-1R is more than a traditional petroleum oil; it is a specialized race formula designed for applications where synthetic oils might not be ideal, such as during engine break-in or in high-volume Nitro and Alcohol setups.

  • MPZ® Fortified Protection: Infused with Torco’s proprietary Moly, Phosphorus, and Zinc (MPZ) additive system to eliminate metal-to-metal contact.
  • Superior Ring Seal: The mineral base stocks provide the necessary "bite" and sealing capability required to maintain maximum compression and power.
  • Extreme Thermal Stability: Resists thinning and oxidative breakdown even when subjected to the intense heat of modern drag racing and circle track engines.
  • Nitro & Alcohol Approved: Specifically formulated to maintain film strength and lubricity when diluted by high volumes of fuel.
  • Extended Engine Life: Actively protects against scuffing, galling, and metal transfer on critical surfaces like cam lobes and bearings.

Key Features and Benefits

Torco TR-1R continues a tradition of podium-winning performance by focusing on the core needs of a racing drivetrain.

  • Anti-Friction Chemistry: Minimizes frictional losses to ensure every bit of horsepower reaches the track.
  • High Load Carrying Capacity: Engineered to handle the massive cylinder pressures found in blown and naturally aspirated race engines.
  • Race-Specific Additives: Contains high-performance detergents and anti-foam agents tailored for competition use.
  • Versatile Standards: Meets or exceeds API performance requirements for racing applications.

Ideal Applications

Torco TR-1R is the go-to mineral lubricant for various high-stakes racing disciplines:

  • Drag Racing: Preferred for Top Fuel, Funny Car, and bracket racing using Nitro or Alcohol.
  • Engine Break-In: Provides the controlled friction necessary for seating rings in high-performance rebuilds.
  • Vintage Racing: Offers the high ZDDP levels and mineral base that older engine designs require for longevity.
  • Circle Track & Off-Road: Reliable protection for engines that sustain high RPMs for extended durations.
