Cenex^® Premium Lubricants

Backed by 90 years of expertise, the Cenex® comprehensive lineup of oil lubricant products includes lubricants for heavy-duty, industrial and specialty applications. 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 two blending locations located in Texas and Minnesota. Both 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.

Unmatched distribution and service

Cenex products are sold through local distributors across 33 states and five Canadian provinces, ensuring you receive quality service and expertise in your community. Our local sales teams are coached by Cenex experts and offer consultative services to provide lubricant solutions for your business.

Cenex lubricants are distributed from our plants and through our Cenex Lubricant Terminal (CLT) network, ensuring you have access to a steady supply across our territory. With a wide range of grades, pack sizes and bulk offerings, we support the diverse needs of your business and industry.
