Everything drivers and workshops ask most often about ceramization, the Cerator formulas, and how to apply them.
A ceramic oil additive. Added to the engine oil, its active particles react with the metal at friction points and build a hard glass-ceramic layer on the working surfaces. The effect is lower friction, restored surface geometry and slower wear.
No. Cerator® is the name the two classic engine-oil formulas carry in the US, UK and Japanese markets: CS‑B for gasoline and CS‑D for diesel. Ceramizator® is the parent brand and the name of the technology, and it is the name on everything else — the Ultimate, POWER and ONE BOOST variants of CS‑B and CS‑D, plus the fuel, heavy-duty and motorcycle products.
Chemmotor Polska, in Poland. The products have been sold across Europe through retail chains and automotive distributors.
Not directly — this is an informational site. Cerator CS‑B and CS‑D ship to US addresses through Amazon and eBay, and the product page links straight to both listings. For anything else in the range, ask on the contact page.
Conventional additives modify the oil — viscosity, detergency, anti-wear films. They do not repair a surface that is already worn. A ceramic revitalizer is tribochemically active: it reacts with the metal and forms a new working layer on it. That is a change to the component, not to the lubricant.
No. The glass-ceramic layer is chemically bonded to the metal surface. Draining the oil does not remove it.
The reaction begins as soon as the engine is warm and under load. Noticeable changes — lower engine noise, improved compression, steadier running — typically appear within a few hundred miles of application.
The reaction is driven by the energy released at friction contacts. Local temperatures there reach 200–300 °C (390–570 °F), which activates the ceramic particles. That is also why the process is self-targeting: it only happens where there is real friction.
No. Honing grooves deeper than 10 µm — the ones that actually hold the oil film — are left intact. What gets filled are micro-cracks, burrs and sharp edges, which are the defects responsible for oil consumption and accelerated wear.
The substance acts selectively and only at friction points. It does not build up where there is no need for it. Used at the stated dose it does not alter oil specification or interfere with normal engine operation.
Yes. The engine formulas are compatible with engines fitted with catalytic converters and diesel particulate filters.
Yes, with any motor oil — conventional, semi-synthetic or full synthetic. The additive modifies the metal rather than the oil, so oil chemistry is not a limiting factor.
Yes, and it is worth doing. Applied early it protects components from the first miles and helps them break in against a smoother surface.
Using an aftermarket oil additive can be a factor in a warranty discussion with a manufacturer or dealer. If the vehicle is under factory warranty, check the terms first. This site cannot give a blanket answer for every manufacturer and market.
It depends on the formula. Cerator CS‑B and CS‑D cover roughly 62,000 miles per application, Ceramizator Ultimate roughly 75,000 miles, POWER about 12,000 miles, and ONE BOOST is sized for a single oil-change interval of roughly 6,000–9,000 miles.
Dose is determined by oil capacity and engine mileage. Full tables, converted to quarts and miles, are on the application guide page.
Overdosing does not build a thicker or better layer — the reaction is self-limiting. Stay with the tabled dose.
Not strictly, but applying to fresh oil right after a service is the best case. The additive is carried by the oil, so clean oil circulates it more effectively.
Not the engine formulas — CS‑B and CS‑D go into the engine oil. The fuel-system products, CP‑B and CP‑D, are the ones that go in the tank.
