Triax Lubricants

[4wd]

Here are a few previous threads on this brand, some of these may have lists of other threads. There are many, many more than these.

A well known obfuscator of approvals and licenses. Some sheets claim they "meet" or are suitable for approvals that are mutually exclusive and cannot be met at the same time.

Thread 'Triax Lubricants'

Jun 5, 2021

I have searched this forum up and down to find some more info on Triax lubricants. Not much info. A lot of "opinions" and a couple of VOAs that actually look quite good. This stuff seems to sell well on Amazon with decent reviews. Is there any more information on this brand and its oils now ?

Thread 'Triax Lubricants, LLC'

Anyone have any new info on Triax "Extreme Full Synthetic Engine Oil with Moly"? There was a thread last year, but nothing much mentioned about it. Seems there is no proof of API or Dexos compliance.

I see Amazon has 5 gallon pails for $109, and eBay has (2) 2.5 Bottles for same price. They claim 85% wear reduction and Zero Cam wear (100% reduction), among other things.

Is this the real deal?

Anyone here if Triax Lubricants? They sell their products on Amazon.

What interests me is the products see pretty impressive at a reasonable price. I was looking for a flush P/S fluid for my Hondas (including kids cars) and will need about a gallon total. They see to make a fluid specifically for Honda that is sythentic $11/QT.

If they are legit looks like they carry a wide assortment of impressive oils and greases as well.

Thread 'Triax - It is the good, the bad, or the ugly?'

Jul 24, 2025

The title was inspired by a famous Clint Eastwood Western movie. I mention that in case you don't know 70s Westerns.

I saw years ago that Triax reputation was in doubt at BITOG, but then so was Amsoil back in the day. Since then Amsoil has gained a good reputation at BITOG. How about Triax? What's the current status of Triax repuation at BITOG?

Triax claims good specs for Triax power steering fluid and motor oil. I haven't looked at Triax ATF or gear oil.

Thread 'Triax Lubricants???'

Mar 12, 2018

has anyone tried their HDEO products or done a VOA? They have some pretty stout Boron and additive numbers in their oils. It appears they don't pay API for their certification, but claim a better oil.

Thread 'API Licensing - viscosity mismatch with product label?'

May 1, 2024

Hello,

I find myself with a pail of Triax Fleet Atlas (a 20w-50 HDEO, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CKZY3TJG/). From poking around, I see that this brand is regarded around here with suspicion, at best. Reading the various posts, I have to agree the company seems rather... questionable. Oops. So now I'm wondering what kind of trouble I've gotten myself into...

I had a look at the pail to confirm API licensing, figuring if it met criteria for my desired spec, it should be fine to run just the one pail of it. And indeed, I see "API licensed CI-4 Plus / CI-4" in big letters...

I’m looking for 90% less cam wear since Mopar are waitlisted

 

[fantastic]

I am searching for a quality oil for my new motorcycle and came across Triax. Who knows anything about this company? I have been using factory Kawasaki full syth 10w40 as recommended. Looking at my owners manual, looks like the 10w40 is operating right at its max recommended temp here in FL. Been contemplating moving to Mobil 1 20w50 but see that it is marketed as for V-Twin engines. Whats the difference or is it simply that the v-twins tend to run hotter? Anyhow, Stick with the Kawasaki 10w40, swap to Mobil 10w40, or 20w50, or is the Triax a better oil than those other two? Thanks for the thoughts.

I've used their gear oil for 37k so far and nothing to note. Seems to work for me. I'd try their motor oil no problem. They are using good base oils from Shell & a nice add pack.

I guess I’m just a little too stuck on competence and make the leap that it applies to other areas.

In my opinion there are many reputable known brands out there, and little reason to use this.

This. You got HPL, Amsoil, maxima, motul, Mobil 1, Valvoline, and castrol all proven bike oils. Leave the sham that is Triax alone!

 

[SubieRubyRoo]

Do a search on Triax. Most of what you’ll find is people saying to run away.

Lawsuits saying the same thing, as well…

They keep sending me solicitations for Black Friday sales. I'm more than skeptical that I can get 30 quarts of 100% POA/ester 0W-40 with a HTHS of 4.6, shipped, for $5.87/qt. Part of me wants to find out.

If it’s truly 100% Synthetic PAO/Ester, then either there’s no add pack to protect your engine, or…. shocker, Triax is spreading more false advertising. Plus, they’re literally telling you that their oil is going to leave sludge in your engine!

Hard. Pass. Every. Time.

That's my plan.

I used their GL-5 80W-90 a few weeks ago in an old Toyota 7.5. Thinking about dumping it. I had no idea these guys were so shady.
