Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions
Adding Cera Tec to your vehicle's oil is a straightforward process:
- Shake Well: Before opening, vigorously shake the 300ml bottle of Cera Tec for at least 30 seconds to ensure the ceramic particles are thoroughly mixed and suspended.
- Add to Oil: Pour the entire contents of the 300ml bottle directly into the engine's oil filler neck or the manual transmission/pump/compressor's oil filler opening.
- Dosage: One 300ml bottle is sufficient for 5 liters of oil. Adjust proportionally if your system holds a significantly different oil volume.
- Self-Mixing: Cera Tec will mix itself with the existing oil. For engines, it's often best to add it during or immediately after an oil change, or when the oil is warm, then run the engine for a few minutes to circulate.
Compatibility
- Oils: Cera Tec is miscible with all commercially available motor oils (both gasoline and diesel) and motor vehicle gear oils. This includes synthetic, semi-synthetic, and mineral-based oils.
- Systems: Suitable for engines, manual transmissions, pumps, and compressors.
- Exclusions: NOT suitable for use with wet clutches. This typically means it should not be used in most automatic transmissions, some continuously variable transmissions (CVTs), or certain motorcycle engines that use a wet clutch system. Always verify your vehicle's specific clutch type if unsure.
- Modern Components: Fully compatible with diesel particulate filters (DPF), turbochargers, and catalytic converters.
Care and Maintenance
- Reapplication: The long-term effect of Cera Tec lasts approximately 50,000 km. Plan to reapply with your oil changes around this mileage interval to maintain continuous protection.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
- Safety: Keep out of reach of children. Avoid contact with eyes and skin; refer to the product safety data sheet for detailed information.
