Im sure its good stuff, but why would you need it?

I believe it is not purple as ATF has to be red per the DOT?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that is why.
 
yep same reason they recalled ATE super blue brake fluid..
brake fluid color is set by the DOT.

ATF has to be red.

Im surprised Honda followed suit... they have there own Power sterring fluid... they have there own BLUE Coolant.. they have there own DW-1 Trans fluid....

They even have there own Silicons.... Isnt called Honda-Bond or somthing?

I hear its really good compared other silicons

Perhaps some agency made them take the Purple color and go to RED.

However its red now as pics show.
