Last I knew, Mobil makes the oil and ATF. Not sure about the rest.

My Tripledge silicone rubber wipers are 15 years old and are as good
as new, meaning they don't wipe very well. But that's OK because I
live in sunny Phoenix

Where, IIRC, I10 has 30 ft high pillars with signs pointing to them
that say something like "flood escape route". You know, for the
biennial "Phoenix Creek becomes Phoenix River torrent".

I'm closer to I-17.

There are typically 30-40 days of rain here each year, but about 28 of
them are storm days, and we don't have anything close to the drainage
capacity that a place like Chicago does. The last big floods here
occurred in the 1980s, when 100-year floods occurred two years in a
row and wiped out all the bridges across the Salt River, except for
one in Tempe built in the 1930s as a New Deal make-work project.

So it would seem that since Honda does not make these items, there is
no true good reason to prefer Honda ATF or oil over another
manufacturer if produced to the same standards.
