Product Information

LIQUI MOLY Cera Tec Wear Protection Additive – 300ml

LIQUI MOLY Cera Tec is a high-performance ceramic engine oil additive developed to reduce friction, minimise wear and provide long-lasting protection for internal engine components.

Its advanced formulation combines microscopic ceramic particles with chemical friction modifiers to help protect metal surfaces, improve smooth running and reduce wear during cold starts and normal operation. Can be used in petrol, in diesel engines and compatible manual transmissions. Not to be used in automatic or PKD gearboxes

Porsche Model Compatibility

Cera Tec is suitable for consideration in Porsche models equipped with compatible conventional oil-lubricated petrol or diesel engines:

These are potential applications based on LIQUI MOLY's general engine compatibility, not individual Porsche model approvals. Check the engine oil capacity, Porsche lubricant requirements and suitability of aftermarket additives before use.

Not intended for the electric drive systems of the Porsche Taycan or all-electric Macan.

What Does It Do?

Cera Tec uses microscopic ceramic particles and chemical friction modifiers to reduce direct metal-to-metal contact inside the engine.

This helps:

Reduce friction and mechanical wear
Protect components during cold starts
Improve engine smoothness
Provide additional protection under high loads
Support long-term engine durability

Why Is It Important?

Internal engine components experience friction whenever the engine operates, particularly during cold starts and under heavy loads.

Cera Tec provides an additional wear-protection treatment to complement the engine oil, helping reduce friction between moving metal surfaces.

When Should It Be Used?

Cera Tec can be added during routine engine oil servicing, preferably when filling with fresh engine oil.

LIQUI MOLY states that its protective effect can last for up to 50,000km.

It is a preventative wear-protection additive rather than a repair for existing mechanical damage.

Application & Dosage

Shake the container thoroughly before use.
Add directly to the engine / gearbox oil, ideally during an oil change.
One 300ml container treats approximately 3–5 litres of oil.
Adjust the quantity for larger Porsche oil capacities.
Follow the manufacturer's normal oil change intervals.
Do not exceed the recommended dosage.

Cera Tec is also suitable for certain manual transmissions, pumps and compressors.

Do not use in automatic transmissions, PDK/DCT gearboxes or wet-clutch differentials.

Always check the required Porsche oil specification and viscosity for the individual model before ordering.

Designed for modern automatic transmissions, this premium fluid provides excellent wear protection, outstanding resistance to ageing and oxidation, and consistent shifting performance across a wide range of operating temperatures.

Its exceptionally high viscosity index helps maintain reliable lubrication and hydraulic performance during both cold starts and high-temperature operation, contributing to smooth and precise gear changes.

Top Tec ATF 1800 R is suitable for a wide range of automatic transmissions manufactured by companies such as ZF and Aisin Warner, where the specified fluid requirements match LIQUI MOLY's recommendations.

These transmissions are used across numerous vehicle manufacturers, including Porsche, Audi, BMW, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen and Volvo.

The fluid's advanced formulation also supports extended transmission oil change intervals where permitted by the vehicle or transmission manufacturer.

What Does Top Tec ATF 1800 R Do?

Automatic transmission fluid performs several important functions within an automatic gearbox.

Unlike conventional manual gearbox oil, ATF must lubricate internal components while also supporting hydraulic control, clutch operation and heat management.

LIQUI MOLY Top Tec ATF 1800 R is formulated to:

Lubricate gears, bearings and other moving transmission components
Support smooth and consistent automatic gear changes
Provide suitable friction characteristics for compatible transmission designs
Help protect internal components against wear
Resist oxidation and fluid deterioration
Maintain stable viscosity across changing operating temperatures
Help prevent foam formation Protect internal components against corrosion
Support reliable operation during cold starts and high-temperature driving

Its low-viscosity formulation is particularly suited to automatic transmissions designed to operate with modern low-viscosity fluids.

Why Is High-Quality Automatic Transmission Fluid Important?

Automatic transmissions rely on the correct fluid specification to operate efficiently and reliably.

The transmission fluid must provide lubrication while maintaining the correct hydraulic and friction characteristics for the gearbox's internal clutches and control systems.

Using an unsuitable or degraded fluid can affect gear selection, shifting behaviour and long-term transmission durability.

Top Tec ATF 1800 R combines modern additive technology with excellent temperature stability to help maintain the intended performance of compatible automatic gearboxes.

Why Does Automatic Transmission Fluid Deteriorate?

Automatic transmission fluid is exposed to repeated heating, cooling, pressure and mechanical stress throughout its service life.

Over time, these conditions can cause the fluid to lose some of its original properties.

Common causes of deterioration include:

Prolonged exposure to high operating temperatures
Oxidation and ageing of the fluid
Contamination from normal transmission wear
Repeated heavy-load or stop-start driving
Incorrect transmission fluid levels
Moisture or external contamination
Extended service intervals
Use of an incorrect fluid specification

Deteriorated transmission fluid may contribute to inconsistent shifting and increased wear within the gearbox.

When Should Automatic Transmission Fluid Be Replaced?

Automatic transmission fluid should be replaced according to the vehicle or transmission manufacturer's service recommendations.

The correct replacement interval depends on the gearbox design, vehicle usage and operating conditions.

A transmission fluid inspection or service may be required if the vehicle experiences:

Rough or inconsistent gear changes
Delayed gear engagement
Transmission overheating
Unusual gearbox noise
Evidence of fluid leakage
Contaminated or degraded transmission fluid
A scheduled automatic transmission service

These symptoms can also indicate mechanical, hydraulic or electronic faults, so changing the fluid alone may not resolve the problem.

Porsche Automatic Transmission Applications

LIQUI MOLY identifies Porsche among the vehicle manufacturers whose automatic transmissions may be suitable for Top Tec ATF 1800 R.

However, Porsche has used several different automatic transmission designs and fluid specifications across its model range.

Suitability must therefore be determined by the exact gearbox and required transmission fluid specification rather than the Porsche model name alone.

Top Tec ATF 1800 R should only be used where its published recommendations match the fluid specification required by the vehicle or transmission manufacturer.

It must not be assumed suitable for all Porsche Tiptronic, PDK or other automatic transmissions.

Application & Service Instructions

Shake the container well before use.

Always follow the transmission or vehicle manufacturer's instructions regarding the correct fluid specification, filling procedure, operating temperature and fluid level.

For optimum performance, LIQUI MOLY recommends using Top Tec ATF 1800 R without mixing it with other transmission fluids.

During a transmission service, inspect the transmission for leaks and replace filters, seals or other service components where required.

Some automatic transmissions require a specific filling temperature and diagnostic procedure to establish the correct fluid level.

Professional servicing is recommended where specialist filling equipment or diagnostic tools are required.
