💰 Why the Cermax Diesel Value Package for Small Engines?

Small-displacement diesel engines — found in European and Asian diesel cars, compact SUVs, and light commercial vans — are precision-engineered for fuel efficiency and torque. But tight tolerances and high combustion pressures accelerate wear on cylinder walls, turbo bearings, and injector components. The Cermax Value Package combines Cerma's one-time STM-3 ceramic engine treatment (2oz for 1–2.8L diesels) with Cermax Ceramic Synthetic Motor Oil featuring built-in SiC technology for ongoing protection. The Nano Silicon Carbide particles permanently bond to metal surfaces at the molecular level, creating a diamond-hard protective layer (Mohs hardness 9.5, melting point 2,730°C) that reduces friction, lowers temperatures, and restores compression — extending the life of your small diesel engine far beyond what conventional oils can achieve.

📦 What's Included in the Package

Item	Details
Cerma STM-3 Diesel Engine Treatment	1× 2oz bottle — one-time permanent treatment for 1–2.8L diesel engines

🔬 How STM-3 Nano Silicon Carbide Technology Works

Cerma's patented STM-3 technology uses Nano Silicon Carbide (SiC) — one of the hardest materials known to science with a Mohs hardness of 9.5 and a melting point of 2,730°C. When added to your engine oil, the nano-sized SiC particles permanently bond to metal sub-surfaces through a chemical reaction activated by engine heat and friction. This creates an ultra-smooth, diamond-hard ceramic layer that:

Fills microscopic imperfections in cylinder walls, bearings, and journals
Reduces metal-to-metal contact and friction by up to 90%
Lowers operating temperatures and reduces thermal stress
Restores compression lost through normal wear
Exhibits non-Newtonian dilatant properties — gets stronger under stress
Creates a permanent bond that lasts the life of the engine

The Cermax Ceramic Synthetic Motor Oil also contains SiC technology, providing continuous ceramic reinforcement with every oil change. Combined with the one-time engine treatment, this delivers the most comprehensive protection available for small diesel engines.

📋 The Cerma Protocol — How to Apply

⚠️ Important: Add the treatment to your existing oil (not Cerma Oil) first. Do NOT use any other oil additives while using Cerma products. The engine must be warm and running at idle before adding treatment.

Warm Up Engine: Run your vehicle until it reaches normal operating temperature.
Add Engine Treatment: With engine warm and running at idle, add the 2oz bottle of Cerma STM-3 Diesel Engine Treatment directly into the oil fill port.
Drive at Varied Speeds: Drive normally at various speeds to ensure proper distribution of the SiC technology throughout the engine.
Initial Drive Period: Drive at least 1,500 miles to allow the SiC particles to fully bond to engine surfaces.
First Oil Change: After the 1,500-mile break-in period, change your oil using Cermax Ceramic Synthetic Motor Oil (15W-40 or 10W-30).
Allow Full Cure: The ceramic bonding process continues to improve over approximately 90 days of driving. Peak protection builds progressively.
Ongoing Protection: Continue using Cermax Ceramic Synthetic Motor Oil for all future oil changes. Enjoy up to 30,000-mile drain intervals.
Transmission (If Selected): Add the 2oz Transmission Treatment to your transmission fluid at any time. Add with fluid at operating temperature for best results.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in the Cermax Diesel Value Package for 1–2.8L engines?

The base package includes one 2oz bottle of Cerma STM-3 Diesel Engine Treatment plus your choice of 5–10 quarts of Cermax Ceramic Synthetic Motor Oil in either 15W-40 or 10W-30 viscosity. You can optionally add a 2oz Automatic or Manual Transmission Treatment for complete drivetrain ceramic protection.

Is this safe for my DPF, DOC, SCR, EGR, and DEF systems?

Yes. Cerma products are fully compatible with all modern diesel emission systems including Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF), Diesel Oxidation Catalysts (DOC), Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR), Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR), and Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) systems. The PTFE-free, solvent-free formula will not damage or clog aftertreatment components.

How many quarts does my 1–2.8L diesel engine need?

Most small diesel engines hold between 5 and 7 quarts. Common examples: VW/Audi 2.0L TDI (5–6 qt), BMW 2.0L diesel (5–6 qt), Mercedes 2.1L diesel (6–7 qt), Chevy Cruze 1.6L diesel (5 qt), Mazda Skyactiv-D 2.2L (5 qt). Always check your owner's manual for exact capacity. Select extra quarts to keep on hand for top-offs between oil changes.

Should I choose 15W-40 or 10W-30 for my diesel car?

Many European diesel cars (VW, BMW, Audi, Mercedes) specify low-viscosity oils like 10W-30 for fuel efficiency and cold-start protection. 15W-40 is the traditional heavy-duty diesel oil choice and may be preferred in warmer climates or for older engines. Always check your owner's manual for the manufacturer's recommended viscosity grade. Both options include the same Cermax SiC ceramic technology.

Why do I add the treatment to my existing oil first?

The STM-3 engine treatment must be added to your current oil (not Cermax oil) so that the Nano Silicon Carbide particles can circulate and bond to metal surfaces during the 1,500-mile break-in period. After the bonding process is complete, you then switch to Cermax Ceramic Synthetic Motor Oil for ongoing protection. This two-step process ensures maximum ceramic adhesion.

Do I need to re-treat the engine every oil change?

No. The Cerma STM-3 Engine Treatment is a one-time, permanent treatment. The Nano Silicon Carbide particles chemically bond to your engine's metal sub-surfaces and do not wash away with oil changes. Once treated, simply continue using Cermax Ceramic Synthetic Motor Oil for ongoing ceramic reinforcement.

Will this help my diesel car's turbo last longer?

Yes. Nearly all modern small diesel engines are turbocharged, and turbo bearings spin at extremely high RPMs under intense heat. The STM-3 ceramic coating reduces friction and heat throughout the engine, including the oil passages that feed the turbocharger. For even more turbo protection, consider adding Cerma Turbo Nano Treatment to your maintenance routine.

Can I use other oil additives with Cerma products?

No. For optimal results, do not use any other oil additives or aftermarket treatments while using Cerma products. The STM-3 technology is a complete engine protection system. Other additives may interfere with the SiC bonding process. Cermax oil already contains everything your engine needs for maximum protection and performance.
