Torco Oil for the 911?
Anybody done any testing on this oil? Seems like it would be suited for the flat-6 with its MPZ additive package?
Not trying to reinvent the wheel here. Just so happens our race org gets a 20% discount for members, so...... just thought i'd ask

Torco oils have been used by the drag racing set for years. I believe it would work well in a 911 engine, assuming the flat tappet additive is there and the weight is right.
You might also wish to check out the recent addition to Lucas oils...they now have one designed for flat tappet engines.

Thanks for the feedback Paul. I figured the oil would be suitable for reason you mentioned- drag engines are typically flat tappet and need the protection.
