Cermax Ceramic 10W-40 Synthetic Motor Oil — STM-3 Nano Silicon Carbide Technology | Up to 30,000-Mile Oil Changes
Experience the world's first self-cleaning motor oil in the heavy-duty viscosity built for maximum protection. Cermax Ceramic 10W-40 Synthetic Motor Oil is engineered with Cerma STM-3 Run Clean Technology featuring Nano Silicon Carbide (SiC) for up to 30,000-mile oil change intervals. This advanced ceramic synthetic oil permanently bonds a diamond-hard SiC matrix to metal sub-surfaces, continuously cleaning, protecting, and restoring your engine with every mile. 10W-40 delivers the thickest protective film in the Cermax gasoline oil lineup — the go-to viscosity for high-mileage engines, hot climates, heavy loads, performance vehicles, marine engines, golf carts, and any application where maximum oil film strength is critical. Available in quart, gallon, case, pail, and drum sizes.
- ✅ Up to 30,000-Mile Oil Changes: Dramatically extends drain intervals — save time and money on maintenance

- ✅ Volume Discounts: Buy 2 and save 1.35% — buy in bulk for additional savings
- ✅ PTFE-Free & Solvent-Free: No Teflon, no solvents — environmentally safe formula made in the USA
Conventional synthetic oils — even premium brands — 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. Cermax 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 mile after mile — which is why Cermax delivers 30,000-mile drain intervals while actually making your engine cleaner over time, not dirtier.
10W-40 is the workhorse viscosity for demanding applications. Its thicker oil film at operating temperature provides maximum protection for high-mileage engines with widened clearances, hot-climate vehicles where thinner oils lose film strength, towing and heavy-load situations, marine and watercraft engines running under continuous high load, and performance engines that generate extreme heat. It's also the standard grade for many golf carts and outdoor power equipment. If your application demands the strongest possible oil film combined with ceramic SiC technology, Cermax 10W-40 is your best choice.

🔬 How STM-3 Run Clean Technology Works
At the core of Cermax 10W-40 is Cerma STM-3 — the next generation 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: Prevents contaminants from depositing on metal surfaces — 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 — critical for marine applications
- Non-Newtonian Properties: Gets stronger under stress — maximum protection during heavy loads and high RPM
📋 How to Use Cermax 10W-40
For maximum protection, first treat your engine with Cerma STM-3 Engine Treatment (a one-time permanent treatment), then use Cermax 10W-40 for all subsequent oil changes. The engine treatment creates the initial deep ceramic bond, and Cermax 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-40 is the recommended viscosity.
- Drain Old Oil: Warm your engine, then drain existing oil and replace the oil filter.
- Fill with Cermax: Add the correct amount of Cermax Ceramic 10W-40 Synthetic Motor Oil.
- Drive & Enjoy: Drive or operate normally. Cermax provides up to 30,000 miles of protection per oil change.
- Do Not Mix Additives: Cermax is a complete protection system. Do not add any other oil additives or treatments.
