⚡ Package Options
| Option | What You Get |
|---|---|
| Diesel Value Package | Engine Treatment + 5qt Cermax Oil |
| Diesel Value + Automatic Trans | Engine Treatment + 5qt Cermax Oil + 2oz Automatic Transmission Treatment |
| Diesel Value + Manual Trans | Engine Treatment + 5qt Cermax Oil + 2oz Manual Transmission Treatment |

🔧 Available Viscosities
- 15W-40 — Standard diesel viscosity. Most common for diesel trucks, SUVs, vans, and equipment. Recommended for most 3.0–4.8L diesel engines.
- 10W-30 — Lower viscosity diesel option. Better cold-start protection, improved fuel economy. Check manufacturer recommendation.
✅ Two Layers of Ceramic Protection
Layer 1 — Cerma STM-3 Diesel Engine Treatment (one-time): The 4oz dose (two 2oz bottles) is sized specifically for 3.0–4.8L diesel engines. Nano Silicon Carbide particles permanently bond to cylinders, pistons, rings, bearings, and cams — creating a permanent SiC ceramic matrix with Mohs 9.5 hardness that survives every oil change.
Layer 2 — Cermax Ceramic Synthetic Motor Oil (ongoing): SiC-enhanced synthetic diesel oil continues to deliver fresh ceramic particles with every oil change, maintaining and reinforcing protection. Supports up to 30,000-mile oil change intervals. Also protects non-ferrous (aluminum, bronze) turbo components — no separate Turbo Nano Treatment needed when using Cermax Oil.
💡 Why this package for 3.0–4.8L diesels: Mid-size diesel engines — VW TDI, BMW diesel, Mercedes diesel, Audi TDI, Jeep EcoDiesel, GM 2.8L Duramax, Mazda SkyActiv-D — need a 4oz engine treatment dose (larger than gas engines). This package includes the correct 4oz sizing so you don't have to calculate separately. Add transmission treatment for complete powertrain coverage.
📋 The Cerma Protocol — Step by Step
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Add both 2oz bottles of Engine Treatment (4oz total) to your existing oil. Add when engine is warm, at idle. |
| 2 | Drive for 15–20 minutes immediately after adding. Continue normal driving for at least 1,500 miles. |
| 3 | If you chose the Transmission option: add 2oz Transmission Treatment to your transmission through the fill port. |
| 4 | After 1,500+ miles: drain old engine oil and refill with Cermax Ceramic Synthetic Motor Oil. |
⚠️ Important — Follow the Protocol: Do NOT add Engine Treatment and Cermax Oil at the same time. The treatment must work with your existing oil for at least 1,500 miles to properly bond SiC ceramic to engine metal. Do not use any other additives during the bonding period. Allow approximately 90 days of normal driving for the full Cerma process to complete.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Why does this package include 4oz of Engine Treatment?
Diesel engines require higher treatment doses than gas engines due to larger displacement and heavier internal components. A 3.0–4.8L diesel needs 4oz (two 2oz bottles) for proper SiC ceramic coverage of all cylinder walls, pistons, bearings, and cam surfaces. Gas engines only need 2oz. This package is pre-sized so you get the correct dose without guessing.
Which viscosity should I choose — 15W-40 or 10W-30?
15W-40 is the standard diesel viscosity and works for most 3.0–4.8L diesel engines. 10W-30 is a lighter option that provides better cold-start protection and slightly improved fuel economy — some newer diesel engines specifically call for 10W-30. Always check your owner's manual for the manufacturer's recommended viscosity.
Should I add the automatic or manual transmission option?
If you want complete powertrain protection, yes — select the option matching your transmission type. The 2oz Transmission Treatment provides the same SiC ceramic bonding inside your transmission that the Engine Treatment provides for your engine. If you're unsure whether you have an automatic or manual, check your center console — if there's a shift lever with a clutch pedal, it's manual. Most diesel vehicles in this size range are automatic.
Is it safe for DPF, DEF, EGR, and SCR systems?
Yes. Both the Cerma STM-3 Diesel Engine Treatment and Cermax Ceramic Synthetic Oil are safe for all modern diesel emissions systems — DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter), DOC (Diesel Oxidation Catalyst), SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction), EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation), and DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) systems. No solvents. No PTFE. No harmful ash or phosphorus.
My engine takes more than 5 quarts — can I add more oil?
Yes. The package includes 5 quarts with the option to add additional quarts of Cermax Ceramic Synthetic Oil at checkout. Many 3.0–4.8L diesels take 6–8 quarts. Check your owner's manual for the exact capacity and add extra quarts as needed.
Do I need a separate Turbo Nano Treatment?
Not when using Cermax Oil. Cermax Ceramic Synthetic Motor Oil already contains SiC protection for non-ferrous turbo components (aluminum housings, bronze bushings). Since all diesel engines in this size range are turbocharged, this is a significant advantage — your turbo is automatically protected once you switch to Cermax Oil.
Why can't I add Treatment and Cermax Oil at the same time?
The STM-3 Engine Treatment needs to work with your existing oil to properly bond SiC particles to engine metal surfaces. This bonding process takes at least 1,500 miles. Adding treatment and Cermax Oil simultaneously causes competition between the SiC in the oil and the treatment, reducing bonding effectiveness. Follow the protocol: treatment first in existing oil, drive 1,500+ miles, then switch to Cermax.
