Cerma Ceramic Automatic Transmission Fluid — STM-3 Nano Silicon Carbide Technology | Smooth Shifting & 4× Longer Transmission Life
Stop slipping, hesitation, and rough shifts permanently. Cerma Ceramic Automatic Transmission Fluid is engineered with STM-3 Nano Silicon Carbide (SiC) technology that creates a micro-ceramic protective coating on every metal part inside your automatic transmission — preventing sludge and varnish buildup, eliminating slippage, sealing leaks, and reducing operating temperatures. Standard ATF simply lubricates. Cerma goes further: its SiC ceramic particles permanently bond to planetary gears, valve body components, clutch pack surfaces, and torque converter internals, restoring worn transmissions and protecting new ones. The result is smooth, fast shifting, extended transmission life up to 4× longer, and dramatically lower maintenance costs. Compatible with cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, motorcycles, motor homes, and commercial vehicles. Available in quart through 55-gallon drum.
- ✅ Eliminates Slippage & Rough Shifting: SiC ceramic coating restores smooth, fast gear engagement in worn transmissions
- ✅ Prevents Sludge & Varnish: Micro-ceramic barrier stops buildup that degrades transmission performance over time
- ✅ Seals Transmission Leaks: Conditions seals and lowers operating temperatures to stop and prevent leaks
- ✅ Reduces Operating Temperatures: Less friction = cooler transmission = longer fluid and component life
- ✅ Extends Transmission Life Up to 4×: Permanent SiC protection dramatically reduces internal wear
- ✅ Protects Planetary Gears: Diamond-hard SiC barrier (Mohs 9.5) guards the most critical transmission components
- ✅ Eliminates Hesitation: Restores crisp, confident shift response in aging transmissions
- ✅ Anti-Wear Formula: Permanent ceramic bond reduces metal-on-metal contact throughout the transmission
- ✅ Long-Lasting Protection: Ceramic bond doesn't deplete — strengthens over time
- ✅ PTFE-Free & Solvent-Free: Environmentally safe formula made in the USA
Cerma Ceramic Automatic Transmission Fluid is designed for conventional automatic transmissions with planetary gear sets and torque converters. Our Warranty/Money Back Guarantee is not valid for CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) or SVT (Stepless Variable Transmission) applications. If your vehicle has a CVT, please contact us at 239-344-9861 before purchasing.
Inside every automatic transmission, hundreds of precision metal components operate under extreme heat, pressure, and friction. Over time, sludge and varnish accumulate, clutch packs wear, and shifting quality degrades. Cerma's STM-3 technology reverses this decline. Its Nano Silicon Carbide (SiC) particles — Mohs hardness 9.5, melting point 2,730°C — permanently bond to every metal surface inside the transmission. This ceramic matrix fills micro-imperfections in worn components, restoring smooth engagement. It prevents sludge and varnish from adhering to valve body passages. It reduces friction and heat, allowing the fluid to last longer. And because the ceramic bond is permanent, it continues protecting long after conventional ATF additives have depleted.
⚙️ Transmission Problems Cerma Solves
| Symptom | How Cerma ATF Fixes It |
|---|---|
| Transmission slipping | SiC restores clutch pack engagement surfaces, eliminating slip |
| Rough or harsh shifting | Ceramic coating smooths gear engagement — crisp, clean shifts |
| Shift hesitation / delayed engagement | Cleans valve body passages and restores hydraulic response |
| Transmission fluid leaks | Conditions seals + lower operating temps reduce seal shrinkage |
| Overheating transmission | SiC friction reduction lowers operating temperatures significantly |
| Sludge & varnish buildup | Ceramic barrier prevents deposits from adhering to metal surfaces |
| Frequent fluid changes | Extends fluid life up to 4× — cooler temps reduce fluid degradation |

📋 How to Use Cerma Automatic Transmission Fluid
- Verify Compatibility: Confirm your vehicle has a conventional automatic transmission (not CVT or SVT). Check your owner's manual for ATF type and capacity.
- For Full Flush (Best Results): Drain existing ATF from the transmission pan. Replace the transmission filter if accessible. Refill with the correct amount of Cerma Ceramic ATF.
- For Top-Off / Partial Fill: Add Cerma Ceramic ATF to bring the fluid to the proper level on the dipstick. Cerma is compatible with existing ATF.
- Cycle the Transmission: Start the engine and shift through all gear positions (P-R-N-D-L) with the brake applied, pausing briefly in each position. This circulates the new fluid.
- Check Level: With the engine running in Park on a level surface, check the ATF dipstick and top off if needed.
- Drive & Enjoy: The SiC ceramic technology begins bonding immediately. Many users notice smoother shifting within the first few miles of driving.
For the deepest initial ceramic bond, consider adding Cerma Ceramic Transmission Treatment to your existing fluid first (a one-time additive), then switch to Cerma Ceramic ATF at your next transmission service. The treatment creates a deeper ceramic foundation that the ATF then maintains.

Is the best
Cerma treatment is the best company hands-down ! I spent quite a bit of money buying 5 gallons of transmission fluid and when I arrive home from work after it had been delivered, the side of the pale was cracked and leaked some of the fluid out, and I reached out to the company and they wear polite and prompt and replaced my order immediately if you guys want a good product and great customer service this is the place to be!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have performed a transmission flush after using the treatment and had the shops use this fluid any 3 different vehicles to of which are commercial use and each time I have been so pleased with the smooth shifting. Like butter
