Cerma Synthetic Ceramic 10W-30 Motor Oil — STM-3 Nano Silicon Carbide Technology | Up to 15,000-Mile Oil Changes
Experience the world's first self-cleaning motor oil at a value price point. Cerma Synthetic Ceramic 10W-30 Motor Oil is engineered with Cerma STM-3 Run Clean Technology featuring Nano Silicon Carbide (SiC) for up to 15,000-mile oil change intervals — double the drain interval of conventional synthetic oils. This ceramic motor oil permanently bonds a diamond-hard SiC matrix to metal sub-surfaces, continuously cleaning, protecting, and restoring your engine with every mile. 10W-30 is the trusted all-purpose viscosity ideal for warmer climates, higher-mileage engines, marine applications, RVs, and a wide range of vehicles and equipment. Available in quart, gallon, case, pail, and drum sizes.
- ✅ Up to 15,000-Mile Oil Changes: Double the drain interval of conventional synthetics — save time and money
- ✅ Self-Cleaning Technology: STM-3 Run Clean Technology prevents sludge, carbon buildup, and deposit formation on metal surfaces
- ✅ Permanent Nano SiC Protection: Silicon Carbide particles bond to metal and reinforce with every oil change
- ✅ Restores Power & Compression: Fills microscopic wear in cylinder walls, restoring lost horsepower and torque
- ✅ Reduces Friction, Harmonics & Vibration: SiC ceramic technology for smoother, quieter engine operation
- ✅ Carbon & Moisture Guard: Triple protection against wear, deposits, and emissions
- ✅ Multi-Application Versatility: Cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, RVs, marine engines, watercraft, and power equipment
- ✅ Fast Cold Weather Starting: 10W winter rating flows quickly at startup in most climates
- ✅ Value-Priced Ceramic Protection: SiC technology at a lower price point than Cermax 30,000-mile oil
- ✅ PTFE-Free & Solvent-Free: No Teflon, no solvents — environmentally safe formula made in the USA
This is Cerma 10W-30 — our 15,000-mile ceramic synthetic oil. For maximum drain intervals up to 30,000 miles, upgrade to Cermax Ceramic 10W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil. Both use STM-3 SiC technology — Cermax features a higher concentration for extended performance.
Conventional synthetic oils simply lubricate. They sit between metal surfaces and reduce friction temporarily, but do nothing to permanently repair wear or prevent deposit formation at the molecular level. Cerma is fundamentally different. Its STM-3 technology applies a permanent Nano Silicon Carbide (SiC) matrix seal within the metal sub-surfaces of your engine. SiC has a Mohs hardness of 9.5 (nearly as hard as diamond) and a melting point of 2,730°C. This ceramic matrix continuously cleans engine surfaces, prevents contaminants from depositing on metal, and maintains peak performance — delivering 15,000-mile drain intervals while actually making your engine cleaner over time, not dirtier.
10W-30 is the classic all-purpose motor oil viscosity. Its slightly thicker film at operating temperature provides extra protection for higher-mileage engines, warmer climates, RVs and recreational vehicles, marine and watercraft engines, and older vehicles originally designed around 10W-30 specifications. It's also the standard small engine grade for generators, lawn mowers, and power equipment.

🔬 How STM-3 Run Clean Technology Works
At the core of Cerma 10W-30 is Cerma STM-3 — an advanced lubricating oil with SiC (Run Clean) technology. The 100% active ingredient applies a permanent Nano Silicon Carbide (SiC) matrix seal within the metal sub-surfaces of your engine:
- Self-Cleaning Action: Attracts carbon and lacquer into filterable masses — your engine gets cleaner over time, not dirtier
- Permanent Ceramic Bond: SiC particles bond to metal at the molecular level, creating a diamond-hard surface (Mohs 9.5)
- Friction Reduction: Reduces metal-to-metal contact, lowering friction, harmonics, and vibration
- Power Restoration: Fills micro-imperfections in cylinder walls, restoring horsepower and torque
- Carbon Guard: Protects against performance-degrading sludge and abrasive carbon buildup
- Moisture Guard: Superior protection against moisture contamination and corrosion — important for marine use
- Non-Newtonian Properties: Gets stronger under stress — maximum protection during high-load conditions
📋 How to Use Cerma 10W-30
For maximum protection, first treat your engine with Cerma STM-3 Engine Treatment (a one-time permanent treatment), then use Cerma 10W-30 for all subsequent oil changes. The engine treatment creates the initial deep ceramic bond, and Cerma oil continuously reinforces it. Check our Value Packages for bundled savings on treatment + oil.
- Check Capacity: Refer to your owner's manual for your engine's exact oil capacity and confirm 10W-30 is the recommended viscosity.
- Drain Old Oil: Warm your engine, then drain existing oil and replace the oil filter.
- Fill with Cerma: Add the correct amount of Cerma Synthetic Ceramic 10W-30 Motor Oil.
- Drive & Enjoy: Drive or operate normally. Cerma provides up to 15,000 miles of protection per oil change.
- Do Not Mix Additives: Cerma is a complete protection system. Do not add any other oil additives or treatments.
