Goodyear “Performance Max” Full Synthetic Motor Oil

[redwolf4k]

Good evening,

I recently came into possession of 90 quarts of Goodyear Performance Max motor oil, the full synthetic variation. For years I used Mobil 1, and for something like the past decade I have used Supertech synthetic (and their MP line of oil filters). I searched far and wide in order to find out who the parent company of this Goodyear motor oil is, but I just cannot find concrete information. The best I could do was find the distributor. Does anyone know who manufactures this motor oil? It carries API star on the bottle, but I cannot bring myself to use it until I know more.

Thank you for your time.

Wow, I cannot thank you enough. Apparently my internet searching skills are subpar. Thank you!

I hope you only paid like $90.00 for 90 quarts of this oil.

Why

 

[Brian123]

Why

I just looked at a SDS of this oil, the stuff is cheap dino oil, this stuff does not compare to Mobil 1

With over 2,000 Goodyear service centers it made sense for them to have their own branded lubricants.

What about the SDS tells you it's dino?

Is it because it says "hydrocracked or hydrotreared?"

Like say... Valvoline, Havoline or Castrol synthetics?

Hydrotreated Light Paroffic
Residual Oils, Solvent Dewaxed
Base Oil Severly Purified

The stuff is junk

Sounds like a lot of synthetics out there. It does meet Dexos specs.

I actually got it for free, several cases of 5 quart jugs. I am pretty anal about my vehicles, thats why I came here regarding this oil - as I have never heard of it. It wouldn’t truly be free if there was a price to pay in the end.

You forgot "hydrocracker bottoms".

edit; Spider graphs show the improvement of Dexos 1 gen 3 vs gen 2. I found a good one at www.oronite.com

Id run it. Especially for free. Nice find.

 

[Greasymechtech]

Its dexos, sp, gf6 , typically group3 synthetic like so many others

Its plenty good enough and I would definitely use it.

The dexos license will sometimes give you a blender for some of the lesser known brands:

Site Maintenance

And for some brands, API search helps sometimes:

Directory Search

engineoil.api.org

Those jams most def should get used.

I've never seen this type of oil before. I stear clear of their tires but then having their own markings on oil is something new to me. I'm not a sure what quality it might be; guessing standard plain old grp 3 oil.

What tires do you steer towards?
