Product Information

Cera Tec is a high-tech ceramic wear protection product for all motor oils. Cera Tec reduces friction and wear due to ceramic compounds that withstand extremely high chemical and thermal loads. Prevents direct metal-to-metal contact, thus increasing the engine service life. The low-friction effect reduces fuel consumption in gasoline and diesel engines.

Effect:

  • reduces friction and wear
  • prevents direct metal-to-metal contact
  • reduces fuel consumption
  • lasts up to 30,000 miles (50,000 km)

Properties

  • reduces frictional losses
  • suitable for diesel particulate filters
  • mixable with all commercially available motor oils
  • increases smooth operation
  • highest thermal stability
  • excellent high and low temperature behavior
  • tested for catalytic converters
  • stable under extreme pressures
  • compatible with fine filters
  • no deposits
  • long engine service life
  • chemically inert
  • reduces fuel consumption

Application

300 ml is sufficient for up to 1.3 gal (5 liters) of motor oil. Long-term effect up to 30.000 miles (50.000 km). Shake container before use. Minimum oil filling of 3 liters (3.17 U.S. QT) is required for optimum product performance.

We recommend using this product every 5th oil service or every 25k miles. Cera Tec reduces the amount of friction and thereby the wear. This in turn benefits the engine, which is under less load. This can result in a lower susceptibility to repair and longer service life.

Please Note: The caps on the Cera Tec bottle has been discontinued and updated to a new style.


About Liqui Moly

All LIQUI MOLY products are created by close solidarity with the automotive, two-wheel and commercial vehicle industry. That's why Liqui Moly solutions are always on par with state-of-the-art technologies and sometimes even a good distance ahead. The recipes for LIQUI MOLY high-tech products are largely based on our own developments, that we continuously test and develop. The LIQUI MOLY full range, with more than 4,000 products, offers you lubricants, additives, car care products and chemical repair tools with integrated use guarantee.

LIQUI MOLY offers the matching motor oil for every vehicle in the world. Liqui Moly engine oils have a variety of approvals by German and overseas car manufacturers or fulfill the requirements of the producers. And, even here, there are still differences: A manufacturer approval means that the oil fulfills certain minimum requirements. But LIQUI MOLY goes beyond those requirements and develop oils that, for example, have a higher cleaning performance than what is required by the manufacturer.

Every mile driven costs a tiny bit of engine longevity. The reason: Friction and wear. A creeping process, that is often accelerated by poor fuel quality and deposits of old lubricants. However, regular maintenance of the oil and fuel circuit can usually restore engine performance to its original level. Without much effort, but with a great deal of effect. When it comes to gear oil a similar thing can be said.

The fact that LIQUI MOLY products shine, and, with a high level of innovation, deliver what they promise, is confirmed again and again by independent testing institutions, in which we regularly pass with flying colors. Approvals by the automotive industry and the fulfilling of the highest specifications are also a matter of course.

CERA TEC Engine Oil Additive - 07 Cayman S
For at least the last 3 oil changes, I have been adding one bottle of CERA TEC Engine Oil Additive (300ml Can) after each oil change. I have been sending a sample of the old oil off to Blackstone for analysis and the reports have come back within spec each time. Car has over 100k miles and hopefully the CERA TEC along with the Liqui Moly 0W-40 oil change kit (KIT-987OILKT1) will help keep the engine healthy for many more miles to come. I highly recommend both the Liqui Moly CERA TEC Engine Oil Additive and Liqui Moly 0W-40 oil.

Recommended for daily driving
As suggested by Garreth, I alternate MoS2 and CERA TEC and did noticed that engine is running much smoother after those addons to Liqui Moly oil. Highly recommend to add so that you can prolong engine lifetime.

Seemed to quite down the n55
Used this with some Liqui Moly 0W-40 for my N55. I can't confirm any actual results but seems like it quieted down some of the drivetrain. My engine has 116K Miles on it so this sound help with some of the worn clearances.

Questions & Answers

Question Posted by Yaokun
If I used MoS2 Anti-Friction Engine Treatment (LM2009) during my last oil change, will the protective performance of CERA TEC be compromised at the next oil change compared to using it without having previously used the MoS2 treatment?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
No, not at all, many customers use both additives consistently without issue and get the benefits of the anit-friction treatment as well as the protection against wear from Ceratec.
Question Posted by Paul
I'm confused, one answer says that this product is "certainly compatible" with automatic transmission while another answer says it's "NOT" compatible. What is the correct answer? Is this product compatible with my 2007 Volvo XC70 (with automatic transmission)?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
This is an engine oil additive. The posts you saw mentioned it is not compatible with automatic transmissions, as in, this cannot be added to an automatic transmission's fluid. The other post confirmed, perhaps in poor wording, that this can be used in vehicles that have automatic transmissions because the transmission style does not matter. Sorry for the confusion.
Question Posted by Leonardo
I have a 2018 Macan GTS should I get 2 bottles for the 8 quarts of oil it needs or just one bottle? 300ml covers for 5 liters of oil do I need extra from the 3 remaining liters?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
Yes, you will need two bottles.
Question Posted by Mesfin
Spoke to an Official LiquiMoly Rep in person at a car event. He did not recommend using this with the Molygen oil (green bottle) and the additives in the Cera Tec and in the Molygen would interfere with each other and have a severe negative impact rather than a positive one. He said that if I felt the need to add an additive to an oil that already protects so well that the MoS2 would be the way to go as they do not have additives that interfere with each other. Can someone verify this?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
In this case I would have to agree with the LiquiMoly Rep, however I can attest to using this with Molygen and having no issues, as can others. Personally I would lean towards trusting the LiquiMoly Rep's knowledge of their products and detergents.
Question Posted by Ermir
Can this be used on a heavy duty diesel truck or semi tractor?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
Yes, should be no issue using in either application provided both are using standard motor oil.
Question Posted by a customer
I just inherited a 2016 Q5 2.0 with 125,000 miles. My research indicates this would be good to add after a fresh oil change with Liqui Moly High Tech. Was going to use the fuel cleaner prior. Is this product good for my vehicle?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
Yes, would be perfect for that application. I would recommend using this, the fuel cleaner, and ceratec as a package for your next oil change. Available as a kit below. https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/additive-kit-step-1-liqui-moly-lm20002kt
Question Posted by a customer
Is ceratec safe for n20 motor. Is it worth using. Or should I just stick to oil. Trying to quiet down n20 lifters and rattle. New timing chain so the engine has no issues.
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
Honestly, the N20 is on the noisy side, having run Ceratec on several variants over the year it has not made a difference in the sound or rattle. Will have the benefits of wear protection for sure, but will not do much to tamper the rattle.
Question Posted by a customer
Is it fine to mix cera tec with liqui moly molygen oil? I heard it’s not recommended but in case I do, will it cause any harm to my engine?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
I have not heard that myself, I have personally used Molygen on several occasions with Ceratec and used the engine flush prior to an oil change without any issue. The only thing I can think of is the amount of detergents in that combination, it may identify already leaky seals, but in my case and the engines I have used these on I have had no signs of leakage or poorly maintained gaskets to speak of and therefor no issues using this combo.
Question Posted by Ethan
Do you add this along with the new oil or is it similar to the engineer flush where you run it with the old oil then drain it?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
This is added to your new oil.
Question Posted by a customer
