Planning to change oil soon, currently looking at Torco oils. However, the many sub-brands they have confuses me. SR1, SR5 then TR1,TR5. And why most sell in 1L bottles only?

For my previous car, LM MoS is good. But this time not my own car, have to use FS. Appreciate if any tai kor can clarify here. Now driving Swift 1.5.

most premium EO sell in 1L bottle, so if you don't use up all the contents, you won't keep too much leftovers in unsealed condition which *may* degrade the EO's performance.

That, and it's easier to sell/can sell more premium price using 1L bottles sad.gif

SR/TR etc are not "sub brands", more like "models" of their lineup.
if you want to go full synthetic for daily use, SR-1 is more than enough. TR-5 is their semi-synthetic (nothing to shout about to be honest)

so if you want to give torco a try, go with SR-1 then.

SR4/5 = racing EO, and not really suitable for daily usage in the sense that they have less detergent and not that good for long OCI. unless of course you got money to spend to blow doing shorter OCI at much more expensive pricing.

Thanks for your great explanation. Learnt a lot from that.

Do you recommend any seller for Torco oils? If I am not mistaken, Elton don't sell Torco.
