Cerma and New Diesel Standards | Modern Engine Oil Requirements
Cerma and the New Diesel Standards
Modern diesel engines face stricter emissions and fuel economy requirements. Cerma Motor Oil is engineered to meet and exceed these demanding standards while providing superior protection for both new and older diesel engines.
The Challenge: Evolving Diesel Requirements
Federally mandated requirements for diesel engines demand:
- Additional emission reductions
- Improved fuel economy
- Higher engine operating temperatures
- Increased biodiesel compatibility
- More air circulation within the engine
New Oil Specifications to Meet These Standards
The oil industry has developed new specifications to address these requirements:
| Specification | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Lower viscosity oils | Increases fuel economy while maintaining protection |
| Higher temperature protection | Handles increased engine operating temperatures |
| Backwards compatibility | Works with older diesel engines |
| Oxidation and aeration protection | Prevents oil breakdown under stress |
| Biodiesel compatibility | Protects against biodiesel fuel effects |
Two Oil Types for Different Needs
To meet all requirements, the industry uses two specification types:
- Type I – For new engines: lower viscosity for maximum fuel economy
- Type II – For older engines: higher viscosity for compatibility while meeting new standards
How Cerma Motor Oil Exceeds These Standards
Cerma Motor Oil has already been developed to meet all proposed standards in:
- Engine protection
- Oxidation resistance
- High temperature performance
- Biodiesel compatibility
The Cerma Advantage: Cerma also tackles the challenge with older engines. Our STM-3 technology restores engine performance so that lower viscosity oil with improved fuel economy properties will still protect and function properly in high-mileage diesels.
Benefits of Cerma Motor Oil for Diesel Engines
| Benefit | How It Helps |
|---|---|
| Restores older engine performance | SiC coating fills worn surfaces, reduces blowby |
| Extended drain intervals | 3-5x longer than standard oils (30,000-50,000 miles) |
| Lower viscosity with full protection | Improved fuel economy without sacrificing wear protection |
| Higher temperature stability | Ceramic coating handles extreme heat |
| Biodiesel compatible | Works with B5, B20, and higher biodiesel blends |
| Reduced emissions | Cleaner combustion, less particulate matter |
Why Cerma is the Smart Choice for Diesel Owners
Whether you have a new diesel truck with the latest emissions equipment or an older workhorse that needs continued protection, Cerma Motor Oil delivers:
- Full compliance with modern diesel oil standards
