Gasoline Engine Oils

Auto Gold Synthetic blend

A well-balanced synthetic blend gasoline engine oil tested and proven to protect critical components from excess wear and heat caused by intense engine pressures. Formulated with a combination of high quality, mineral and synthetic base oils and a high viscosity index improver for excellent extreme temperature pumpability and anti-wear protection during cold startups.

Maxtron Full Synthetic

Is a high-performing engine oil designed to far exceed the newest and most stringent industry performance standards including API SP, Resource Conserving and ILSAC GF-6A. These oils meet new car warranty requirements and are backward compatible to the older API, ILSAC and OEM performance requirements. Maxtron is also formulated with high quality, high viscosity index full-synthetic base oils and a shear stable viscosity index improver for outstanding high temperature protection and low temperature pumpability.

CFC has a bulk oil truck with 15W40, and Qwiklift HTB. We also offer bulk DEF in 55-gallon drums, and 275-gallon totes.

Thank you for your business and enjoy the remainder of the winter season.

With the nice temperatures and recent rally in the market, grain movement around the country is at a very high pace. This is causing basis to really pull back on the front end. Soybean and corn processors are getting overrun with spot bushels. This is not only causing the basis to soften, but long lines and reduced hours. Consider looking at the deferred slots if looking to lock in a carry on contracts bushels. We at CFC are paying around 5c more per month for grain delivered down the curve.

Next week we have an updated Delayed Price policy taking place for both corn and soybeans. Corn will be 5 days free followed by 5 cents per month. Soybeans are going to FREE Delayed Price until October 3. Corn space is somewhat limited as the customers we have corn sold to are many of the same spots going full on the front end. We did sell a lot of soybeans at harvest time and have continued pressing outbound logistics giving us a chance to offer free delayed price at both our Marion and Lyons locations. The reason for only Marion and Lyons is our other locations have smaller flowable bean space available. If we run into space issues ourselves, contract bushels will be given priority to delayed price storage space.
