Triax Lubricants

[Captsunshine32724]

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.

It would help to know what motorcycle this is for.
Is it air or water cooled?
What does the Owner's Manual specify?

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

Stick with the Kawasaki 10w40, or swap to Mobil 10w40

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.

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 ?

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 PSF and motor oil. I haven't looked at Triax ATF or gear oil.

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...

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

 

[Captsunshine32724]

Thanks for all the responses! Looking to use it in a 2024 Ninja 500 and Z900. Reading other posts Im thinking probably moving to the Mobil 1 20-50 might be a good choice. I don't like operating at the upper temp limits of a recommended oil. My manuals show an upper ambient temp for the 10-40 at 104 f. I am routinely sitting in traffic and riding in temps at 100 f. Low temp pump-ability just isn't a concern here in Florida as it might be in other locations.

 

[Boomer]

My All Track routinely runs oil temps between 212-221 F.. Has for years. Oil stays clear and it runs well. what upper temps are you seeing that has you so concerned?

Hey Boomer, Oil and water temps are fine. I'm simply going off the manual from Kawasaki which makes oil recommendations based on ambient air temps where the bike will be operated. If I were in a cooler climate like where you are, the 10-40 would certainly be well within those temp ranges, as well as give better oil flow at startup on cooler mornings. What I was referring to is that looking at my chart in the manual, the 10-40 is only recommended up to an air temp of 104 f. While the 20-50 is listed to go up from there but having a warmer lower limit of course.

you don’t need 20-50 if it’s liquid cooled. Stick with the Kawasaki oil or Mobil

 

[50yr Street Mech]

Use Triax in my riding mower. According to the dipstick, it doesn't blacken up very quickly, so I think it's good oil. Never used it in a vehicle though. Have a lot of grass to cut on a little 15.5 hp single cylinder Briggs. So far, so good. 30wt oil

Slow blackening is an interesting criteria.

 

[MalibuRam65]

Triax lubricants is a Quality brand use with confidence.

 

[50yr Street Mech]

Yes, slow blackening from overheating. I don't do UOA's on a riding mower oil.

That notion could be reinforced by writing accurate PDS for their recommendations.

Is that what causes it to blacken? I thought it was something else.

 

[skyactiv]

I used Triax 75W80 GL4 in an Audi A4 quattro”s transmission and it worked fine. I don’t/wont use their engine oil however.
