Liqui Moly Cera Tec Anti-Wear Oil Additive - 300ml

The long-term effect of Cera Tec lasts for approximately 50,000 km. It should be reapplied with oil changes around this mileage interval to maintain continuous protection and benefits.

Yes, Cera Tec is compatible with all commercially available motor oils and motor vehicle gear oils, making it suitable for a wide range of gasoline and diesel engines, including older models with high mileage. It can help reduce wear and extend the life of existing components.

Yes, Cera Tec has been specifically tested and is proven suitable for diesel particulate filters (DPF), turbochargers, and catalytic converters, without causing any harmful deposits or adverse effects on these systems.

No, Cera Tec is an additive designed to enhance the protective qualities of your engine oil. It does not replace the need for regular oil changes according to your vehicle manufacturer's recommendations. Always adhere to your vehicle's service schedule.

Cera Tec is not suitable for use with wet clutches, which are common in many automatic transmissions. It is specifically recommended for engines, manual transmissions, pumps, and compressors. Always verify your transmission type before use.

Shaking the bottle vigorously before use is essential because Cera Tec contains fine ceramic solid lubricants that can settle over time. Shaking ensures these particles are evenly suspended and properly dispersed into your engine or gear oil, allowing them to form the intended protective layer on metal surfaces.

Cera Tec's primary benefits are long-term wear reduction and component protection. While some users report immediate engine smoothness, improvements in fuel efficiency may take time to manifest and also depend on driving conditions and vehicle maintenance. Ensure you shook the bottle well before use and added the correct dosage.

Cera Tec is suitable for manual transmissions, pumps, and compressors. It is explicitly *not* for use with wet clutches, which are commonly found in many automatic transmissions and some motorcycle engines. Consult your vehicle's owner manual or a qualified mechanic to confirm your transmission type before adding.

One 300ml bottle is formulated for up to 5 liters of oil. If your oil capacity is significantly different (e.g., 3 liters or 8 liters), you can proportionally adjust the amount of Cera Tec. However, for best results and to ensure the ceramic layer forms properly, it is generally recommended to use the full bottle within a reasonable range (e.g., 4-6 liters). For capacities outside this, consider the proportional amount.

Cera Tec contains ceramic solid lubricants, which can settle over time. It is crucial to shake the bottle vigorously for at least 30 seconds immediately before adding it to the oil. This ensures the ceramic particles are evenly dispersed and effectively integrate into your oil system.
