Our lubricants are engineered from quality ingredients and advanced additives and rigorously tested against the toughest standards to meet the relentless demands of your equipment in the harshest environments.
Product overview
The Cenex manufacturing difference
Our products are blended and shipped from one of our three blending locations located in Texas, Minnesota and Ohio. All three plants are ISO 9001-2015 certified, and our oil lubricant products are triple tested to ensure quality and consistency before ever leaving the plants. Unique filtering systems help us achieve some of the lowest ISO cleanliness numbers and our advanced robotics create efficiency in packaging.
Your certified OEM partner
As a trusted partner of many original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), we’re OEM-certified and have provided factory fills and blending for leading private label brands. Many of our products meet or beat the specifications of leading competitors. Cenex is API-licensed, an approved GM Dexos partner and has recently received approval from Allison Transmissions for use in TES 668® applications with our new Maxtron® ATF SS8 product.
