Cenex Maxtron synthetic

[Nodak]

Does anyone have any info. on Cenex Maxtron synthetic oil? Decent stuff? Any specs. on it and who makes it? The Cenex brand is big in the upper midwest but I can't get any info. out of the dealers on there oil.

We some Cenex products here (see a lot of cenex here in NW IA), have had great luck with their greases in bearings and for maintenace. We have also used their hydraulic oils for the equipment many times. Never had a single problem with any of their products. Never really used their engine oil but if I could get it readily I'd use it since Mobil or Shell doesn't have a big presence here.

We like it as it is usually 30% cheaper than Deere, Mobil, or Shell, Mysitc or the rebranded WPP oils (bomgaars or Travelers)

Thanks Volk06--I finally found a link on there website that gives me a little on the spec. side. The pour point is -45 and TBN is 7. It also meets the specs. of GM, Ford, Chrysler, Honda and Toyota. One of the dealers called me and said they sell a ton of it and never had a complaint about it. I know that the people on the farms up here use a lot of cenex products so I thought that I would check out the motor oil they sell. Thanks again for letting me know about CHS.

If you can post some PDS info on the oil then we can give you more of an opinion.

Im interested to hear some responses on this oil also. I've been toying with the idea of using the 5w-20 in my 2011 Hemi. I know farmers who swear by their lubes and greases.
