My first long distance trip with the 1996 E320 - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

The car has now 135K. In mixed driving 35% city and 65% highway I got only 20-21 mpg.

I have experienced similar results in my 96 E320.

I think I might have one of the oldest W210's in this forum

. Mine is dated March 1996, anyone?

as you can see the overwhelming sentiment is one of disbelief.the product is so good that until you try it the claimed results are very hard to believe.you may remember that when your car was finished on the rack and after the cerma was added you got in your car and tried to restart even though the engine was running.

Sure I remembered that, embarrassing myself in a positive sense

. At my next visit I'm going to add it to the tranny.

Yours may be older, but mine has more miles, at 173K. Runs like a new car, and is in EXCELLENT condition. I recently did both rear window regulators and lubed the sunroof. I have a new belt and belt tensioner rolling around in the trunk - I'll get to installing them the next rainy day.

These W210s sure aren't W124s, and I never thought I'd say it, but they really are wonderful, durable cars in their own way!

you havn't heard of it because it's about six weeks from national launch.i have been working with the inventor[here in texas] who has poured 11 yrs into it's development.i have seen literally dozens of additives over the yrs and it's really refreshing to find one that does EVERYTHING that it claims.

The theory behind the product sounds ridiculous:

"Cerma Ceramic metal treatments utilize the metal of the current conventional engine design, Cerma then impregnates the metal with Micro particulates of Ceramic Lubrication, Cerma then requires the existing Carbon & acids within the engines oil to complete the Transformation of Cerma products to a smooth ceramic seal within the metal back bone of your engine.

Maybe its the "micro particles of ceramic lubrication."

i have bearing surfaces that have run for a couple of hundred miles with cerma and you can both see and feel the obvious difference.the treated surface feels like glass.
