Cerma Ceramic Power Steering Fluid — STM-3 Nano Silicon Carbide Technology | Triple Protection for Power Steering Systems
Silence the squeal and protect your pump permanently. Cerma Ceramic Power Steering Fluid is engineered with STM-3 Nano Silicon Carbide (SiC) technology to deliver triple protection against wear, deposits, and emissions inside your power steering system. Unlike conventional power steering fluids that only lubricate, Cerma’s SiC ceramic particles permanently bond to the metal surfaces of your power steering pump, rack, and lines — stopping squeals, preventing seal failures, eliminating corrosion, and reducing foaming. The result is a power steering system that operates smoother, quieter, and lasts significantly longer. Compatible with cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, watercraft, RVs, and golf carts. Available in quart, gallon, case, pail, and drum sizes.

- ✅ PTFE-Free & Solvent-Free: Environmentally safe formula made in the USA
🔬 Why Your Power Steering System Needs Ceramic Protection
Power steering pumps operate at high pressures and temperatures, creating intense friction between metal components. Over time, this causes pump wear, seal degradation, fluid breakdown, and the dreaded power steering squeal. Conventional fluids address symptoms — Cerma fixes the cause. STM-3 technology applies a permanent Nano Silicon Carbide (SiC) matrix to the metal surfaces inside your pump and rack. SiC has a Mohs hardness of 9.5 (nearly as hard as diamond) and a melting point of 2,730°C. This ceramic barrier eliminates metal-to-metal contact, stops squealing at its source, prevents the wear that leads to seal failure and leaks, and maintains smooth steering response for the life of the fluid.
⚙️ Power Steering Problems Cerma Solves
| Symptom | Cause | How Cerma Fixes It |
|---|---|---|
| Pump squealing on turns | Metal-to-metal contact in pump | SiC ceramic bond eliminates metal contact |
| Stiff or jerky steering | Fluid breakdown, deposit buildup | Self-cleaning SiC prevents deposits, restores flow |
| Fluid leaks at seals | Seal degradation from heat & wear | Conditions seals + reduced heat extends seal life |
| Foaming / air in fluid | Air entrainment at high pressure | Anti-foam formula prevents air buildup |
| Cold-weather steering difficulty | Fluid thickening in cold temps | Maintains flow and response in extreme cold |
| Premature pump failure | Cumulative wear over time | Permanent SiC bond dramatically reduces wear rate |

📋 How to Use Cerma Power Steering Fluid
- Check Reservoir: Locate your power steering fluid reservoir (usually marked with a steering wheel icon on the cap).
- For Best Results — Full Flush: Drain or siphon the old power steering fluid from the reservoir. Refill with Cerma Ceramic Power Steering Fluid to the proper level.
- For Top-Off: If topping off existing fluid, add Cerma Power Steering Fluid to bring the level to the “Full” or “Max” mark.
- Circulate: Start the engine and turn the steering wheel lock-to-lock several times to circulate the new fluid throughout the system.
- Recheck Level: After circulating, check the reservoir level and top off if needed.
- Drive & Enjoy: The SiC ceramic technology begins bonding to metal surfaces immediately. Squealing typically stops within minutes of circulation.
💡 Pro Tip:
For maximum protection, pair Cerma Power Steering Fluid with Cerma Ceramic Power Steering Treatment — a one-time additive that creates a deeper initial ceramic bond before switching to Cerma fluid for all future fills.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What does Cerma Ceramic Power Steering Fluid do that regular fluid doesn’t?
Cerma contains STM-3 Nano Silicon Carbide (SiC) technology — a ceramic compound nearly as hard as diamond (Mohs 9.5). Regular power steering fluid simply lubricates. Cerma permanently bonds a ceramic matrix to the metal surfaces inside your pump and steering rack, providing protection that doesn’t deplete over time. This eliminates the root cause of pump squealing, dramatically reduces wear, prevents seal failures, stops foaming, and extends pump life far beyond what conventional fluid can achieve.
Will Cerma Power Steering Fluid stop my steering pump from squealing?
Yes. Power steering squealing is caused by metal-to-metal contact inside the pump under high pressure. Cerma’s SiC ceramic particles bond to those metal surfaces, eliminating the contact that produces the squeal. Most users experience eliminated or significantly reduced squealing within minutes of circulating Cerma fluid through the system. If the pump is already severely damaged, the fluid will still provide protection but a pump replacement may be needed.
Is Cerma compatible with my vehicle’s power steering system?
Cerma Ceramic Power Steering Fluid is compatible with all hydraulic power steering systems — cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, RVs, watercraft with hydraulic steering, and golf carts. It works with all domestic and import vehicles. Note: Many newer vehicles (2015+) use electric power steering (EPS), which has no fluid reservoir. If your vehicle doesn’t have a power steering fluid cap under the hood, it likely has EPS and doesn’t require fluid.
Can I mix Cerma with my existing power steering fluid?
Yes — you can top off existing fluid with Cerma for immediate benefits. However, for maximum ceramic protection, we recommend a full flush: drain the old fluid from the reservoir, fill with Cerma, then turn the steering wheel lock-to-lock several times to circulate the new fluid through the entire system. This ensures the SiC technology reaches all internal metal surfaces at full concentration.
Can I use this on a boat with hydraulic steering?
Yes. Cerma Ceramic Power Steering Fluid is excellent for marine hydraulic steering systems. The anti-corrosion properties are especially valuable in marine environments where moisture and salt exposure accelerate component wear. The SiC ceramic barrier provides superior protection against the corrosion that commonly affects boat steering systems.
Do I also need the Cerma Power Steering Treatment?
Cerma Power Steering Fluid provides significant SiC ceramic benefits on its own. For maximum results — especially in systems with existing wear or squealing — adding Cerma Ceramic Power Steering Treatment first creates a deeper initial ceramic bond. The treatment is a one-time application, and Cerma Power Steering Fluid then maintains and reinforces the ceramic bond for all future fills.
How often should I change Cerma Power Steering Fluid?
Follow your vehicle manufacturer’s recommended power steering fluid change interval. Because Cerma’s SiC technology runs cooler and resists breakdown better than conventional fluids, the fluid typically maintains its protective properties longer. For most vehicles, power steering fluid should be inspected every 30,000–60,000 miles or when the fluid appears dark or contaminated.
