Goodyear Engine Oil

Goodyear Engine Oil: Performance Max Protection for Every Engine

When most drivers hear the Goodyear name, they picture tires — but Goodyear's reach into automotive fluids runs just as deep. The Goodyear Lubricants line brings that same century-plus legacy of engineering credibility to engine oil, producing motor oils built to meet the demands of modern gasoline and diesel powerplants alike.

The Performance Max Line

Goodyear's flagship engine oil offering is the Performance Max series. PERFORMANCE MAX motor oil was developed leveraging Goodyear's deep history in high-performance race products, and is a superior quality, multi-grade motor oil designed to provide maximum engine protection even under the most demanding driving conditions. The line covers a wide range of driver needs: Performance Max PCMO engine oils are highly engineered for use in all types of vehicles — including cars, SUVs, vans, and light trucks — and are available in conventional, semi-synthetic, and full synthetic formulations, blended to the industry's highest standards.

For those focused on modern gasoline engines, the Performance Max SAE 5W-30 Synthetic Blend is a notable example. It combines synthetic and Group II base oils with advanced additive technology designed for modern gasoline engines, helps improve engine durability and wear protection, is designed to help reduce Low-Speed Pre-Ignition (LSPI), and supports improved fuel economy and long-term engine cleanliness. It meets the latest API SQ and ILSAC GF-7A service classifications — among the most current industry standards available.

Heavy-Duty and Diesel Coverage

Goodyear's engine oil portfolio doesn't stop at passenger cars. Performance Max advanced Heavy Duty SAE 15W-40 Diesel Engine Oil is a high-performance motor oil designed to meet 2017 and newer model year on-highway and Tier 4 exhaust emissions standards. Performance Max CK-4 SAE 15W-40 meets or exceeds the API CK-4 service classification, is compatible with all prior API classifications, and has been field tested to be comparable to most American, Asian, and European manufacturers' standards. This broad compatibility makes Goodyear engine oil a practical choice for mixed fleets and specialty applications.

What Sets Goodyear Engine Oil Apart
