I agree with everything here. I’ve had at least one Subaru in my fleet since the late 70’s. There’s so much misinformation on the Subaru forums when it comes to oil. Especially grade and the effect on vvt and the warranty. After 5-6k miles Subaru engines always drop at least a grade, my theory is the timing chain is hard on oil(and now DI). I would recommend the OP go right to a 30 grade. Currently I’m using Mobil 1 ESP 0w30 in one and Valvoline R&P 5w-30 in an oil burner.There’s a reason why I don’t frequent Subaru forums… there’s a whole lot of brand (car or oil) fetishes, and little to no data or sense used in choices. It’s all propaganda or emotion. From my experience there are two solid, data-proven points for Subaru owners: 1. If non-turbo or turbo FA24, use a synthetic 30 grade (>3.2 HT/HS) from a major; 2. If turbo EJ25X, is a synthetic 40 grade (>3.5 HT/HS) from a major.
Boutiques may make yourtingle but it’s not needed; the HT/HS is what’s going to keep your engine working well in these cases. I’ve accumulated well over 800k miles on various boxers following this regimen with zero oil-related issues.

Nasioc is hands down the worst for lube emotions. On the flip side there is a ton of great info on subies buried there. I do miss the ej’s too!
NASIOC oil beliefs (engine AND transmission) have more in common with voodoo than reality… remember “Uncle Scotty’s Cocktail”?
Lol oh yeah! I will admit I went down that rabbit hole when I had my 2.5rs and wrx. I now know better!

Of what value/meaning is the License Triax holds? Is it something obtained easily and a company can then put anything in a can with no checks by any authority? Doesn't it have to meet at least a minimum level of quality?
I've fallen into the rabbit hole as well and ordered some motorcycle oil from Amazon. Looks like I'll be sending it back!

Synthetic Oil Questions - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums
1999 - 2003 7.3L Power Stroke Diesel - Synthetic Oil Questions - I have been using Conoco Phillips Fleet Supreme EC 15W-40 dino oil for the past few years with good results. It has the exact data properties as the Ford Motorcraft oil and Conoco Phillips produces the oil for Ford so essentially...

Deep dive into the company.
Hilarious!! That guy did some serious digging into Triax. Nothing but a scam. Explains all the inconsistencies and misprints we’ve been pointing out here for years.
That connects all the dots right there. Should be a permanent sticky.

There was a similar deep dive posted on here a while back (minus the lawsuit data IIRC) but it was removed. Nice to see it exposed somewhere at least.
80% less cam wear. That seems believeable!!!!Hmmm… caught your eye, eh?
How, exactly, did they catch your eye?
Let’s be clear, they do not have approvals. They claim to exceed the specifications of those approvals.
And I am suspicious of any oil that claims to”better engine feel” or “smoother & more uniform acceleration”.
More uniform acceleration? Really?
Is that because of the “nano tech”? “Nano tech”?
Those are snake oil marketing lines. Specious, unprovable claims based on “feel” and magical tech sure max out my “hogwash detector”.
TRIAX Synergy SRT 0W-16 (Hybrid Car)
TRIAX Synergy SRT 0W-16 is a 100% synthetic extended performance, low vis, long drain engine oil designed to deliver outstanding durability and engine protection in modern Hybrid vehicles. It surpasses all modern OEM requirements for popular hybrids like Nissan, Toyota, Honda, GM, and more...www.triaxlubricants.com
Excellent info. My 2 jugs of Triax motorcycle oil will definitely be sent back to Amazon.
But the owner sent a message stating they’re “quite different.”
That should be good enough to hang your hat on, yeah?

Wrong, their oils are API Licensed and certified according to product data sheets. I have been using their products for years and they are excellent.Hmmm… caught your eye, eh?

Some are. And for some they list “suitable for” approvals that are mutually exclusive.
No thanks. I’ll take an oil with an actual approval for less money or at least a suitable one from a blender that knows what they are talking about.
Since Triax said: "We are aware of the member making false claims on BITOG," I am actually bookmarking this!
I wonder how they are made aware of such things?
As they say, "Bad news travels fast".
This board is not insulated from the other automotive related ones and is referenced elsewhere quite often when oil related subjects come up on them.
It is incredible that people were giving them any benefit of doubt after numerous evidence that it was obvious that they never knew about basic stuff behind approvals, specifications etc. We still have members claiming they are good, honest company. It is almost like it matters to them.
