Somebody explain to me how Honda can be so blatant with their special fluids that nobody else can duplicate, yet not feel the wrath of a class action suit under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act?
BTW, we do have ATF that replaces the Honda Z1 and MT fluid MTL-P. In the product "details" are all of our PSD's.
We do know what's in most of these fluids but let's take one example why we don't make other Honda products (Honda PS fluid):
1. Found at Walmart for approx. $2.00 by Bardahl. People mostly shop on price and not quality, so we will not produce a PS fluid for Honda.
2. Not enough volume for the specialized Honda fluids.
Bottom line is, if there was enough volume, we would do it. Same situation with those crazy GM/Eaton qualified fluids.; not enough volume to pay pwards of $100,000 for qualification testing.
Go to any vehicle specific site and instead of quality fluids being discussed, price, not quality, is the deciding factor.
Now the exception is BITOG here, where product quality is placed over bargain basement, Dollar store crapolla.
