It is probably same product as Supertech and other similar fluids.
It won’t fail in non demanding applications, so then you have placebo effect. “I have something special in my car.”
Any Valvoline gear fluid is several light years better. Not to mention Motul, Amsoil, Redline, HPL.
Whatever Honda sells is much better stuff.
I've been running Eneos Import DPS for almost 100K miles on my 2004 CR-V. Changing every 15-20K miles. Currently at 215K miles. Usually get it at NAPA with some sort of discount code combined with larger orders. Eneos is a very large company in Japan so that gives me peace of mind.
My brother's 2022 CR-V is still under powertrain warranty, so I still use Honda Dual Pump Fluid II in that. Funny thing is when I buy it at the Honda dealer, the last two times, they gave me the Acura version.
I've used Triax Asian PSF (back when it was labelled for Hondas) for about 45K. Change every 10-15K via turkey baster method. Didn't really have any issues. The seepage along seams of the pump are more likely due to old seals. It does seem to be on thinner side. Currently running FRAM synthetic Honda Power Steering Fluid and after that will try the Lubegard Honda Power Steering Fluid which has a higher viscosity.

Ah, OK, thanks. I read that, and then replied later, completely forgetting it.
Same logic though - cost of proper fluid v. cost of component replacement.
After doing some reading and research about their products, primarily engine oil, it appears their Euro and high mileage have some pretty poor virgin results from Blackstone. Their Synergy line showed a pretty robust add pack. It looks like the use Shell as their base. Guys either love or hate their product. Making false claims right out of the gate probably hurt their chances as being seen as a legitimate company in the eyes of many consumers. I was honestly just curious about the company because I've never heard of them.
Too many well know brands of great quality to take risks with products like this.
Well, it appears Triax is a blender at best. In all honestly, if you're going to start a company, especially in the lubrication business, bringing something innovative to the table is one thing, but falsely claiming what your product can do without backing it up is something entirely different. I'm glad I researched a bit on here and how this company is still in business baffles me. If you charged Supertech prices for a product that met the standards, I get it. To claim all of this "quieter running engine/less camshaft wear" business is a joke. I'm all for new companies contributing to the market and pushing other manufacturers to be better, but I don't see that out of Triax. Maybe they're trying to change their tune a bit after being sued, who knows?
I have a CPO 24 Trailsport I just picked up. I just did the rear diff and transfer case. Truck has 78k on it and according to the history it was never done. I found a great price on the Acura bottles $15 bucks a bottle. Fluids appeared clean still, but did it for piece of mind.
