CERMAX 2-Cycle Multi-Ratio Ceramic Oil
Dirt Bikes · ATVs · Snowmobiles · Outboards · Chainsaws — All 2-Stroke Engines
CERMAX 2-Cycle Multi-Ratio is a nano Silicon Carbide ceramic synthetic oil for all 2-stroke engines — dirt bikes, ATVs, snowmobiles, outboard motors, chainsaws, trimmers, and other small 2-stroke equipment. Available at from $24.79/qt. The multi-ratio formula works at 16:1, 32:1, 40:1, and 50:1 fuel-to-oil ratios. Nano SiC ceramic bonds to 2-stroke engine surfaces as the fuel-oil mixture passes through, building permanent protection that standard 2-cycle oil cannot deliver.

📋 What's In This Guide
What Is 2-Cycle Oil and Why Is It Different?
A 2-stroke engine fires once per crankshaft revolution — twice as often as a 4-stroke engine. This design produces more power per displacement but requires a completely different lubrication system. Instead of a separate oil sump, 2-stroke engines mix oil directly with fuel. The oil-fuel mixture lubricates the engine as it passes through, then the oil burns with the fuel in combustion.
This means 2-cycle oil must do something standard motor oil never needs to: burn cleanly. Motor oil in a 2-stroke engine would foul spark plugs, coat cylinder walls with carbon deposits, and clog exhaust ports within hours. Only oils specifically formulated for 2-stroke applications — like CERMAX 2-Cycle — are safe to use.
| Factor | 4-Stroke Engine | 2-Stroke Engine |
|---|---|---|
| Oil system | Separate oil sump — oil recirculates | Oil mixed with fuel — burns with each combustion cycle |
| Lubrication | Pump-fed oil film on bearings/rings | Oil carried through engine in fuel mixture |
| Oil consumed | No — recirculates (small amount burned) | Yes — fully consumed in combustion |
| Oil change | Required periodically | Continuous — replenish oil with every fuel fill |
| Power fires per rev | Every 2 revolutions | Every revolution — higher RPM potential |
| Can use car oil? | Yes (with right spec) | Never — car oil will damage 2-stroke engines |
What Equipment Uses 2-Cycle Oil
Any engine with a 2-stroke design requires dedicated 2-cycle oil. CERMAX 2-Cycle Multi-Ratio works across the full range of 2-stroke applications:
Mixing Ratios — How to Use CERMAX 2-Cycle
The "Multi-Ratio" designation means CERMAX 2-Cycle is formulated to work correctly at the full range of fuel-to-oil ratios used across 2-stroke equipment. Always use the ratio your equipment manufacturer specifies — richer ratios (lower numbers like 16:1) provide more lubrication but produce more smoke and deposits.
How to mix: Always add oil to the fuel container first, then add gasoline and shake to mix. Never mix directly in the fuel tank. Use fresh gasoline — premixed fuel older than 30 days can cause hard starting and running issues.
🔬 How Ceramic Works in a 2-Stroke Engine
In a 4-stroke engine, oil recirculates and ceramic particles have time to settle onto bearing surfaces between combustion events. In a 2-stroke engine, the oil-fuel mixture passes through the engine and burns. CERMAX 2-Cycle's nano SiC ceramic particles are sized and formulated to bond to cylinder walls, piston skirts, crankshaft bearings, and reed valve surfaces as the mixture flows through — before the oil is burned in combustion. Over thousands of combustion cycles, the ceramic layer builds on these surfaces, providing progressively better protection. Unlike 4-stroke engines where ceramic bonds in the first 1,000–3,000 miles, 2-stroke ceramic bonding is a continuous process that improves with use.
| Condition | Standard 2-Cycle Oil | CERMAX Ceramic 2-Cycle |
|---|---|---|
| Engine surface protection | Oil film from fuel mixture only | Ceramic layer builds on surfaces over time |
| High-RPM dirt bike use | Oil film under extreme shear stress | Ceramic reinforces surfaces at high RPM |
| Outboard sustained load | Film stressed under full throttle | Ceramic maintains contact zone protection |
| Cold start (snowmobile) | Oil in fuel mixture circulates slowly | Ceramic on surfaces — instant protection |
| Friction reduction | Standard 2-cycle baseline | Up to 90% reduction* — smoother power |
| Deposit/smoke | Standard 2-cycle residue | Clean-burn formula — reduced deposits |
*Based on laboratory friction reduction testing. Individual results may vary.

Usage Tips & Best Practices
| Item | CERMAX 2-Cycle Guidance |
|---|---|
| Mixing ratio | Use the ratio your equipment manufacturer specifies — most modern 2-strokes: 50:1 |
| Mix order | Add oil to container first, then gasoline — shake to combine thoroughly before use |
| Fuel freshness | Use fresh gasoline — premixed fuel older than 30 days can cause starting issues and deposits |
| Oil-injection systems | Compatible — use at manufacturer's specified injection ratio setting |
| Outboard storage | Run engine briefly on fresh mixed fuel before seasonal storage to protect cylinder walls |
| Small equipment | Mix only what you'll use within 30 days — don't store premixed fuel long-term |
| Breaking in new engine | Many manufacturers recommend a slightly richer ratio (e.g. 32:1) during engine break-in — check your manual |
