Cerma Synthetic Ceramic 5W-20 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 in the viscosity Ford, Honda, and Mazda drivers trust most. Cerma Synthetic Ceramic 5W-20 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. 5W-20 delivers excellent fuel economy and fast cold-start protection, making it the factory-fill viscosity for millions of American vehicles. Available in quart, gallon, case, and pail sizes.

  • ✅ 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
  • ✅ Excellent Fuel Economy: 5W-20's low viscosity reduces internal friction for maximum fuel efficiency
  • ✅ 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
  • ✅ Fast Cold Weather Starting: 5W winter rating flows quickly at sub-zero temperatures for immediate startup protection
  • ✅ 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
⬆️ Looking for 30,000-Mile Protection?

This is Cerma 5W-20 — our 15,000-mile ceramic synthetic oil. For maximum drain intervals up to 30,000 miles, upgrade to Cermax Ceramic 5W-20 Synthetic Motor Oil. Both use STM-3 SiC technology — Cermax features a higher concentration for extended performance.

🔬 What Makes Cerma Different from Every Other Motor Oil?

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.

🔬 How STM-3 Run Clean Technology Works

At the core of Cerma 5W-20 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
  • Non-Newtonian Properties: Gets stronger under stress — maximum protection during high-load conditions

📋 How to Use Cerma 5W-20

💡 For Best Results:

For maximum protection, first treat your engine with Cerma STM-3 Engine Treatment (a one-time permanent treatment), then use Cerma 5W-20 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.

  1. Check Capacity: Refer to your owner's manual for your engine's exact oil capacity and confirm 5W-20 is the recommended viscosity.
  2. Drain Old Oil: Warm your engine, then drain existing oil and replace the oil filter.
  3. Fill with Cerma: Add the correct amount of Cerma Synthetic Ceramic 5W-20 Motor Oil.
  4. Drive & Enjoy: Drive normally. Cerma provides up to 15,000 miles of protection per oil change.
  5. Do Not Mix Additives: Cerma is a complete protection system. Do not add any other oil additives or treatments.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between Cerma 5W-20 and Cermax 5W-20?
Both use Cerma's STM-3 Nano Silicon Carbide (SiC) Run Clean Technology — the same revolutionary self-cleaning ceramic oil technology. The key difference is concentration and drain interval: Cerma 5W-20 provides up to 15,000-mile oil changes at a lower price per quart, while Cermax 5W-20 has a higher SiC concentration for up to 30,000-mile drain intervals. Both permanently bond ceramic protection to your engine. Choose Cerma for excellent value, or upgrade to Cermax for maximum extended drain performance.
What makes Cerma 5W-20 different from regular synthetic oil?
Cerma contains STM-3 Run Clean Technology with Nano Silicon Carbide (SiC) — a ceramic compound nearly as hard as diamond (Mohs 9.5). Unlike conventional synthetics that only lubricate, Cerma permanently bonds a ceramic matrix to your engine's metal surfaces, continuously cleans deposits, and prevents contaminant buildup. The SiC Run Clean technology attracts carbon and lacquer into filterable masses, creating a full self-cleaning lubrication system.
Can I really go 15,000 miles between oil changes?
Yes. Cerma Synthetic Ceramic Motor Oil is engineered for up to 15,000-mile drain intervals under normal operating conditions. The SiC technology helps the oil maintain its protective and cleaning properties longer than conventional synthetics. For severe-duty use (frequent towing, extreme temperatures, short trips), we recommend periodic oil analysis to confirm the optimal interval.
Which vehicles use 5W-20 motor oil?
5W-20 is the standard factory-fill viscosity for most Ford vehicles (F-150, Escape, Explorer, Mustang, Ranger), Honda/Acura (Civic, Accord, CR-V, Pilot, Odyssey), Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/Ram gasoline engines, and Mazda vehicles (CX-5, CX-9, Mazda3, Mazda6). It provides excellent fuel economy with proper wear protection. Always confirm your vehicle's recommended viscosity in your owner's manual.
Is Cerma 5W-20 a good break-in oil?
Yes. Cerma 5W-20 is an excellent choice for new and newly rebuilt engines. The SiC technology helps establish a ceramic bond during the critical break-in period, providing permanent protection from the very first oil change. The self-cleaning properties help prevent the carbon deposits and sludge that can accumulate during break-in, giving your new engine the best possible start.
Do I need the Cerma Engine Treatment too, or just the oil?
For maximum results, we recommend starting with the Cerma STM-3 Engine Treatment (a one-time, permanent treatment) before switching to Cerma oil. The engine treatment creates the initial deep ceramic bond, and Cerma oil continuously reinforces it. However, Cerma oil provides significant benefits on its own — the SiC technology will build ceramic protection over time with each oil change.
What does "self-cleaning" oil mean?
Cerma's STM-3 Run Clean Technology applies a Nano SiC matrix that prevents sludge, carbon deposits, and contaminants from adhering to metal surfaces. The SiC technology attracts carbon and lacquer into filterable masses, creating a full self-cleaning lubrication system. Unlike conventional detergent-based oils that suspend particles until they're overwhelmed, Cerma creates a ceramic barrier that actively repels deposit formation. Your engine actually gets cleaner the longer you run Cerma oil.
Is Cerma available in other viscosities?
Yes. Cerma Synthetic Ceramic Motor Oil (15,000-mile) is available in multiple viscosity grades. For 30,000-mile intervals, see our Cermax Ceramic Synthetic Motor Oil line. Visit our Motor Oil collection to find the right oil for your vehicle.
