• BMW ZF Lifeguard 6, 8 and 9 Fluid

Used ATF 689 in my 2019 challenger r/t with 90,000 miles on it. From the start noticed smoother shifting and better response. Will definitely purchase for my other vehicles
I must say TRIAX provide an awesome delivery service, package came very quickly and well packaged.
My 18 RAM with over 113k miles needed to have its transmission serviced, a thing that the dealership doesn't do, because the manufacturer claims the fluid is lifetime.
I decided to do it myself, while researching and comparing fluids, I like the spec's on the TRIAX 689. It pretty much mirrors the ZF Lifeguard 8 / MOPAR 8&9 speed ATF. This was the first I've ever heard of TRIAX, based on the specs and others reviews I decided to chance it and give it a try.
They end result was Worth taking the risk, my truck's transmission operated flawlessly immediately, it shifted super smooth, with crisp responses. I've logged over 1k miles since servicing and I sold on this product, it's my default choice going forward. Based on the TRIAX 689 specs and price point and performance it's definitely a no brainer.
This fluid did seem to repair an issue with an 8HP in a grand cherokee that would not stay out of park in very cold weather. Transmission did have max life in it. serviced with Triax 689 and it has been problem free.
Our 2014 Grand Cherokee's trans is shifting smoother and is quieter than the factory fluid.
Customers have called back to say how much better their ZF trans is shifting after replacing fluid with TRIAX 689
Previously used a different brand of fluid and recently switched to this trans fluid and couldn’t be more satisfied by the smoothness of shifts. My X5 feels brand new. So far I’ve switched all of my fluids over and couldn’t be more satisfied.
Bought the Euro ATF for my Hyundai ZF 6HP26 transmission. Bottle says it is compatible with the ZF 6,7,8, and 9 speeds so I gave it a shot. Did a pan drop and refilled five quarts of this and the car runs smoothly. I've used the Amsoil ATF in the past and feel that the Triax is on par in terms of quality. Will purchase again in near future for another drain and fill.
I've been using Triax Euro Car ATF, DSG/DCT, and ULV transmission fluids in my lube centers for the past three years. I've come to realize that not only is the customer service top notch, but the fluids they off at Triax are superior to other brands and at a fraction of the cost. We've serviced well over 1000 vehicles with Triax fluids and NEVER had an issue with any of their products. We had a box(12 quarts of Euro car ATF) come broken and leaking awhile back and to my surprise, Triax sent another 12 quarts of Euro car ATF at NO COST. This company and their products are TOP NOTCH!
Transmission on my BMW shifts like new. Came recommended from a friend of mine who refused to pay $50 a quart at the dealer. Glad to find top notch, dealer products readily available.
I have been purchasing Triax Euro car ATF, DCT, and ULV for my company the past two years and it's never let us down. The customer service for Triax is top notch and the products they offer are no different. OEM level products with better prices and reliable service is a recipe for a great customer experience.
