Cerma Ceramic Engine Treatment for Diesel Trucks — STM-3 Nano Silicon Carbide for Pickups & Semi Trucks
Cerma STM-3® Diesel Truck Engine Treatment is a one-time ceramic application built specifically for the high-load, high-heat demands of diesel trucks. The Nano Silicon Carbide (SiC) particles permanently bond to your engine's internal metal surfaces — creating a ceramic matrix that reduces friction, eliminates wear, and optimizes performance for the life of the engine.
Available in 6oz for diesel pickups (Ram Cummins, Ford Power Stroke, Chevy Duramax) and 12oz for semi trucks (Peterbilt, Kenworth, Freightliner, Volvo, Mack). One application. Permanent protection. No disassembly.
✅ What Cerma Does for Your Diesel Truck
- Increases horsepower, torque, and compression — less friction means more power where it counts
- Improves fuel economy 4.2% to 21% — significant savings on diesel fuel costs (tested and verified)
- Reduces emissions by up to 92% — cleaner combustion from optimized metal surfaces
- Protects new engines and revives high-mileage diesels — restores compression in worn engines
- Eliminates carbon deposits — SiC ceramic barrier prevents buildup on pistons, rings, and valves
- Reduces engine vibration and noise — smoother operation, especially noticeable in cab
- Prevents hydrogen embrittlement — protects metal integrity at the molecular level
- Stops cold start problems — ceramic protection present from first crank, even at -40°F
- Lowers operating temperatures — critical for diesel trucks under sustained heavy load and towing
💡 ROI for diesel truck owners: At $4.00/gallon diesel and 15 MPG average, a truck driving 25,000 miles/year spends ~$6,667 on fuel. Even a conservative 5% improvement saves $333/year — paying for the treatment in year one. At the tested 21% improvement, savings reach $1,400/year. One-time cost, permanent savings.
🔬 How STM-3 Technology Works
Cerma STM-3® is not an oil additive that coats and washes out. It permanently changes the surface structure of your engine's metal.
The Nano Silicon Carbide (SiC) particles penetrate into the sub-surfaces of cylinders, pistons, rings, bearings, and cams — creating a permanent Silicon Carbide ceramic matrix. SiC has a Mohs hardness of 9.5 (just below diamond) and a melting point of 2,730°C. Once bonded, friction drops dramatically, heat decreases, and wear virtually stops.
Cerma STM-3® creates smoother, more durable metal surfaces without changing factory tolerances. It eliminates destructive harmonics, reduces vibration, and optimizes the contact between moving parts. The same technology trusted by professional race engine builders and aerospace engineers — now available for your diesel truck.
Contains 100% active ingredient — no fillers, no solvents, no petroleum additives. Does not modify your oil. Safe for DPF, DOC, SCR, EGR, DEF, and all emissions equipment.
📋 How to Apply
- Change your oil — use any diesel-rated motor oil at your next scheduled oil change
- Add Cerma STM-3 — pour the correct dose into your oil fill port
- Drive normally — notice smoother operation within the first 20 minutes
- Enjoy permanent protection — the ceramic matrix bonds over 3,000–5,000 miles and lasts forever
Detailed instructions included with every order. Compatible with conventional, synthetic, and synthetic blend diesel oils. Safe for all plastics, rubber, seals, and gaskets.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Which size do I need — 6oz or 12oz?
The 6oz ($290.40) is for diesel pickup trucks with 5.0–7.3L engines — Ram Cummins, Ford Power Stroke, Chevy Duramax, Nissan Titan XD. The 12oz ($538.45) is for semi trucks, Class 8 vehicles, and heavy equipment with 8.0L+ engines — Peterbilt, Kenworth, Freightliner, Volvo, Mack. If unsure, call 239-344-9861.
Will Cerma work in my Cummins 6.7 / Power Stroke 6.7 / Duramax 6.6?
Yes. All three of the most popular diesel pickup engines — Cummins 6.7L, Power Stroke 6.7L, and Duramax 6.6L — use the 6oz treatment. Simply add to your engine oil at your next oil change and drive normally. The SiC particles begin bonding immediately, with noticeable smoothness within 20 minutes.
Is it safe for DPF, DEF, EGR, and emissions systems?
Yes. Cerma STM-3® is completely safe for all diesel emissions equipment — DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter), DOC (Diesel Oxidation Catalyst), SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction), EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation), and DEF systems. The SiC particles bond only to internal engine metal and do not affect exhaust aftertreatment systems.
How much fuel will I actually save?
Cerma's testing shows fuel economy improvements of 4.2% to 21% in diesel engines. For a diesel pickup averaging 15 MPG, driving 25,000 miles/year at $4.00/gal: a 5% improvement saves ~$333/year, 10% saves ~$667/year, and 21% saves ~$1,400/year. The treatment pays for itself in fuel savings alone, typically within the first year.
Is this really a one-time application?
Yes. The SiC particles permanently bond to your engine's internal metal surfaces, creating a ceramic matrix within the sub-surface of the metal. This bond survives every oil change for the life of the engine. No reapplication needed — ever. This is what makes Cerma fundamentally different from oil additives that wash out when you change your oil.
What about semi truck fleet pricing?
For fleet applications, the 12oz treatment at $538.45 per truck typically delivers ROI within the first 30,000–50,000 miles through fuel savings alone — not counting reduced maintenance, extended engine life, and lower emissions. Contact us at 239-344-9861 or info@cermatreatment.com for fleet volume pricing.
Will it void my truck warranty?
Cerma STM-3® does not modify your engine oil — it treats the metal surfaces. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, aftermarket products cannot void a manufacturer's warranty unless the product itself causes the damage. We recommend consulting your dealer if you have specific warranty concerns.
Does it help with towing performance?
Yes — and this is where Cerma's non-Newtonian dilatant properties are most valuable. When your diesel truck works harder under towing loads, Cerma provides more protection (the opposite of conventional oils). Reduced friction under load means lower EGT (exhaust gas temperatures), more available power, and less stress on internal components. Learn about non-Newtonian fluids →

Frequently Asked Questions
Does what they say it will do
I put Cerma in all of my equipment with fantastic results in engine performance and a significant increase in fuel economy. This product works as well as they say it does.
I put this in my 2001 Dodge Cummins with 362k miles. The first thing I noticed was that the engine ran smoother. But the biggest problem it solved for me was that oil consumption dropped dramatically. From a quart every 1500 miles, to a quart every 6000+ miles. I believe it was a combination of better ring seal and the product cleaning the carbon out of the ring lands. Thanks for a great product
