Cermax Air Ceramic 2-Cycle Multi-Ratio Oil — STM-3 Nano Silicon Carbide Technology | Protection for All 2-Cycle Engines

One oil for every 2-cycle engine you own. Cermax Air Ceramic 2-Cycle Multi-Ratio Oil delivers advanced ceramic engine protection powered by STM-3 Nano Silicon Carbide (SiC) technology — the same ceramic compound used across Cerma's full line of engine treatments, motor oils, and fuel treatments. Unlike conventional 2-cycle oils that only lubricate, Cermax Air's SiC particles bond to metal surfaces at the molecular level — creating a permanent ceramic barrier that cleans, protects, and reduces friction far beyond what petroleum-based 2-cycle oils can achieve. Works with all standard fuel-to-oil mixing ratios (16:1, 32:1, 40:1, 50:1). Formulated for ultralight, light sport, and experimental aircraft as well as all ground-based 2-cycle equipment. Available in 16 oz and 1 Quart sizes.

  • ✅ Works With ALL 2-Cycle Equipment: Chainsaws, trimmers, leaf blowers, watercraft, golf carts, snowmobiles, dirt bikes, mopeds, aircraft, and more
  • ✅ Permanent Nano SiC Protection: Silicon Carbide ceramic particles bond to metal surfaces at the molecular level (Mohs 9.5)
  • ✅ Self-Cleaning Technology: SiC particles prevent carbon deposits and attract contaminants into filterable masses
  • ✅ Multi-Ratio Compatible: Works with all standard 2-cycle fuel-to-oil mixing ratios — a direct replacement for any 2-cycle oil
  • ✅ Longer Engine Life: Ceramic barrier dramatically reduces metal-on-metal wear
  • ✅ Increased Power & Compression: Cleaner combustion surfaces deliver more usable power
  • ✅ Lower Operating Temperatures: Reduced friction generates less heat for extended engine life
  • ✅ Reduced Vibration & Noise: SiC ceramic bond creates smoother engine operation
  • ✅ Low Smoke & Reduced Emissions: Cleaner burn for reduced toxic exhaust
  • ✅ PTFE-Free & Solvent-Free: Environmentally safe formula made in the USA
🔬 Why 2-Cycle Engines Need Ceramic Protection

2-cycle engines are inherently harder on oil than 4-cycle engines — the oil burns with the fuel in every combustion cycle, leaving behind carbon deposits on pistons, ports, and exhaust. Conventional 2-cycle oils can't prevent this buildup. Cermax Air changes the equation. Its STM-3 technology applies a permanent Nano Silicon Carbide (SiC) matrix to metal surfaces. SiC has a Mohs hardness of 9.5 (nearly as hard as diamond) and a melting point of 2,730°C. This ceramic barrier prevents carbon from adhering to metal, keeps ports and exhaust passages clean, reduces friction and heat, and extends the life of engines that would otherwise wear out quickly under the harsh conditions of 2-cycle combustion.

📋 How to Use Cermax Air 2-Cycle Oil

  1. Check Your Mixing Ratio: Find your equipment manufacturer's recommended fuel-to-oil ratio (16:1, 32:1, 40:1, 50:1, etc.). Cermax Air works with all standard ratios.
  2. Mix with Fuel: Add the correct amount of Cermax Air to your fuel tank or mixing container, then add gasoline. Mix thoroughly.
  3. Run the Engine: Start the engine and run for a minimum of 10 minutes to begin the SiC ceramic bonding process.
  4. Continue Normal Use: Use Cermax Air as your ongoing 2-cycle oil. The ceramic bond strengthens over the first few hours of operation.
💡 Pre-Mix Ratio:

Cermax Air is a multi-ratio formulation — it works with all standard 2-cycle fuel-to-oil mixing ratios. Use the same ratio your equipment manufacturer recommends. Refer to the Pre-Mix Ratio Tab on this page for the complete mixing chart. No special procedures or tools needed — Cermax Air is a direct drop-in replacement for your current 2-cycle oil.

🔬 What STM-3 Ceramic Technology Does in 2-Cycle Engines

  • Permanent Ceramic Bond: SiC particles bond to metal at the molecular level — protection that conventional 2-cycle oil cannot provide
  • Prevents Carbon Deposits: Stops carbon from adhering to pistons, ports, and exhaust passages
  • Reduces Friction & Heat: Lower operating temperatures extend engine life significantly
  • Increases Power: Cleaner combustion surfaces and reduced friction mean more usable power
  • Reduces Vibration & Noise: Ceramic bond creates smoother, quieter engine operation
  • Improves Fuel Economy: Less friction = better fuel efficiency across all your 2-cycle equipment
  • Reduces Emissions: Cleaner combustion means less toxic exhaust
💰 Saves Money Over Time

Improved fuel economy. Reduced toxic emissions. Fewer repairs. Lower operating costs. The SiC ceramic protection extends equipment life significantly — meaning less money spent on replacement parts, rebuilds, and new equipment. For landscaping crews and commercial operators running multiple 2-cycle machines daily, the savings add up quickly.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What equipment can I use Cermax Air 2-Cycle Oil with?
Cermax Air works with all 2-cycle engines including chainsaws, string trimmers, weed eaters, leaf blowers, air tools, golf carts, watercraft, snowmobiles, dirt bikes, mopeds, ultralight aircraft, light sport aircraft, and experimental aircraft. Any engine that uses a fuel-oil mixture can benefit from Cermax Air's SiC ceramic protection.
How is Cermax Air different from regular 2-cycle oil?
Regular 2-cycle oil provides basic petroleum lubrication that burns away with each combustion cycle. Cermax Air contains Nano Silicon Carbide (SiC) ceramic particles (Mohs 9.5, melting point 2,730°C) that bond to metal surfaces, creating a permanent protective barrier. This delivers superior wear protection, lower operating temperatures, reduced vibration, and significantly longer engine life — things conventional 2-cycle oil cannot do.
What mixing ratio does Cermax Air use?
Cermax Air is a multi-ratio formulation that works with all standard 2-cycle fuel-to-oil mixing ratios: 16:1, 32:1, 40:1, 50:1, and any other ratio. Simply use the same ratio recommended by your equipment manufacturer. Refer to the Pre-Mix Ratio Tab on this page for the complete mixing chart.
Can I use Cermax Air in my chainsaw?
Yes. Cermax Air is excellent for chainsaws from all manufacturers including Stihl, Husqvarna, Echo, and Poulan. Chainsaws run at very high RPMs under heavy load, making them ideal candidates for SiC ceramic protection. The reduced carbon buildup also helps keep exhaust ports and spark arrestors cleaner for longer.
Is Cermax Air safe for aircraft engines?
Yes. Cermax Air is specifically formulated for use in ultralight, light sport, and experimental aircraft with 2-cycle engines (such as Rotax 2-stroke engines). The SiC ceramic technology provides superior protection for aircraft engines where reliability is critical. Always verify compliance with your specific aircraft engine manufacturer's recommendations.
How long does it take to see results?
Run the engine for a minimum of 10 minutes after adding Cermax Air to your fuel-oil mixture. Many users notice reduced vibration and smoother operation within the first use. Full SiC ceramic bonding develops over the first few hours of operation, and the ceramic matrix strengthens with continued use.
Can I use Cermax Air with Cerma Engine Treatment?
Cermax Air is designed specifically for 2-cycle engines that mix oil with fuel. For 4-cycle engines (cars, trucks, motorcycles with separate oil systems), use Cerma STM-3 Engine Treatment instead. Both products use the same STM-3 Nano Silicon Carbide technology — Cermax Air simply delivers it through the fuel-oil mixture rather than through a separate oil system.
Can I use this in a 4-stroke motorcycle or car engine?
No. Cermax Air is formulated exclusively for 2-cycle (2-stroke) engines that mix oil with fuel. For 4-stroke motorcycles, use Cermax 4-Cycle Motorcycle Oil. For cars and trucks, use Cermax Ceramic Synthetic Motor Oils.
