Torco RTF, Manual Trans. Fluid

[Joseph Fihn]

One of the members at the Turbo Diesel Register tried Torco RTF in his '04 Dodge/Cummins, NV-5600 6-speed manual trans. He said it made a significant difference in the shifting quality of the rather notchy-shifting trans.
I did a search & couldn't find anything on this product.
Do any of you know about this product? I'd appreciate hearing any info. you may have about this product, including where to get it.

Thank You.

The RTF is equivalent to our MTL-R, and is a 75W90.

Mr. MolaKule,
Thanks for your reply. I'm running your MTL-P in my NV-5600 & like it. It took some of the notchiness out of the shifting.
What do you know about the Torco RTF? Is it a good product? Who makes it? Where can you get it, etc.?
Thank You.

Torco's website says this is the racing formula for MTs which is their full synthetic. They also offer a regular MTF as well which is a syn blend. Anyway, here's the link to Torco RTF. It can be ordered directly from them.

..or you can search for a local dealer:

If the products are similiar to SF's in terms of performance, then you'll be paying more for fancy packaging that will end up in the trash.

The Torco fluids that I've purchased didn't come with fancy packaging. IMO, Torco performed as well as any other boutique oils that I've used.

Torco pricing competes well with most brands, and online ordering + reasonable shipping cost make it an easy product to purchase.

Give it a try. If you're happy with it, continue to use it. If not, use another brand.

Thanks for the replies, guys. I'd never heard of this product & was curious about it.
