Cerma STM-3 Motor Oil Information
Cerma STM-3 Motor Oils are the next generation of lubricating oil, employing SiC (Run Clean) technology to protect engines against performance-degrading sludge and abrasive carbons. Cerma restores power, reduces friction, reduces harmonics and vibration, increases horsepower and torque, provides unmatched protection, and keeps engine parts clean.
Run Clean Technology Benefits
Run Clean Technology is engineered for MAXIMUM Performance in ALL Engines:
- Keeps Vehicles on the Road and Running – Reliable protection mile after mile
- Provides Fast Cold Weather Starting – Superior low-temperature performance
- Provides Extreme Temperature Protection – Handles high-heat conditions
- Provides Maximum Wear Protection – SiC ceramic coating protects metal surfaces
- Suitable for use in any Induction (Turbo) Motors – Safe for turbocharged engines
How Cerma STM-3 Technology Works
Cerma STM-3 is the world's first self-cleaning oil, and the only technology that treats the metal to bring and keep the vehicle performing at peak levels. As the vehicle is driven, the 100% active ingredient STM-3 applies a permanent nano Silicon Carbide (SiC) matrix seal within the sub-surfaces of the engine, 1 to 6 microns deep. As Cerma STM-3 penetrates, this matrix is lapped to create a perfect surface on the metal sub-surfaces of the engine.
Self-Cleaning Action
Cerma STM-3 technology lubricates and cleans while continuing to prevent contaminants from agglomerating and depositing on metal surfaces. The SiC (Run Clean) technology works by attracting the carbon and lacquer into masses that are large enough for the system filtration to catch and filter out of the system. Cerma STM-3 creates a full self-cleaning lubrication system, combining superior lubrication with the technology to clean for the life of the oil.
Extended Oil Change Intervals
| Cerma Oil Type | Drain Interval | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Cerma Motor Oil | Up to 15,000 miles | Daily drivers, standard use |
| Cerma CERMAX | Up to 30,000 miles | Highway driving, fleet vehicles |
Oil change intervals can be as short as 3,000 miles or as long as 30,000 miles. We recommend that you follow the oil and filter change frequencies shown in your owner's manual. With Cerma Motor Oils, you can have the confidence to go the full mileage or time frame recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. Cerma Motor Oils are especially suitable for vehicles with extended drain intervals or oil monitoring systems.
The Cerma Protocol for Best Results
FOR BEST PERFORMANCE AND MAXIMUM OIL LIFE, FOLLOW THE CERMA PROTOCOL:
- Add Cerma STM-3 Engine Treatment
- Drive 1,500 miles – the longer the better (3,000 miles for trucks)
- Change oil using Cerma Motor Oil
Following this simple three-step process will ensure that Cerma Motor Oils will last to their minimum specifications of 15,000 and 30,000 miles respectively.
Important Usage Notes
⚠️ IMPORTANT: DO NOT ADD TREATMENT AND OIL AT THE SAME TIME!
REMEMBER: Longer is better. After adding Cerma Engine Treatment, drive as long as possible to your next scheduled oil change interval. AFTER BREAK-IN PERIOD, change oil using the Cerma Motor Oil you purchased.
For Newer Vehicles
Cerma Motor Oils can be used independently of the Cerma Engine Treatment, and will be the best performing oils you have ever used.
For Older Vehicles
Using Cerma Motor Oils independent of the Cerma Engine Treatment may take a number of oil changes for the Cerma proprietary technology to clean and restore the entire system. Newer vehicles need less; older vehicles need more. But once the Cerma process is complete, your vehicle's engine will operate and continue to operate at peak performance.
Oil Filter Maintenance
In all uses of Cerma Motor Oils and Fluid, users should continue to change oil filter as per manufacturer's specs.
