MANILA, PHILIPPINES – On February 23, 2026 in Bonifacio Global City Taguig, two trusted names in motoring came together with one shared goal: to give Filipino motorists better, more reliable care for the vehicles they depend on every day.
Gulf Oil Philippines – a trusted provider of a global brand of automotive and industrial lubricants – officially launched its partnership with the Autohub Group, one of the country’s leading car and motorcycle “super dealers”. More than a ceremonial signing, the event marked the beginning of easier access to world-class lubricant technology for everyday car owners, riders, and families on the road.
125 Years of Legacy That Drivers Can Trust
For many, Gulf Oil brings to mind iconic moments in motorsport—from Le Mans to Formula 1 and MotoGP. But beyond the famous orange disc is a company built on more than a century of real-world innovation since 1901. Gulf is proud to provide oils and lubricants for all generations of automotive vehicles, constantly adapting to meet market and customer needs wherever they arise.
“Gulf has always been about moving forward and finding better ways to keep the vehicle engines running at their best,” shared Michael Alfred Francisco, General Manager of Gulf Oil Philippines. “Through Autohub, that global expertise now reaches Filipino motorists right where they service their vehicles.”
Bringing Global Quality Closer to Home
While Gulf is a respected name worldwide, this partnership focuses on something personal—the everyday Filipino driver. By working with Autohub, a company that has served the local automotive community for over 27 years, Gulf’s premium products become available to commuters navigating city traffic, parents driving their kids to school, and riders making a living on two wheels.
A True Synergy of Excellence
For Autohub, the collaboration strengthens a long-standing promise to customers. “Our goal has always been simple—to take care of every vehicle as if it were our own,” said Willy Tee Ten, President & CEO of Autohub Group. “With Gulf, we can give Filipino motorists preventive maintenance they can truly rely on.”
What motorists will feel on the road:
- Gulf ensures superior engine protection across segments with Gulf Formula Elite, engineered for high-performance engines to provide sustained peak performance and Gulf Ultrasynth GDI, formulated for modern cars and premium sedans to deliver a smooth driving experience around the city.
- As the two-wheel market continues to grow, Gulf delivers the same premium protection with Gulf Syntrac for high-performance 4-stroke motorcycles and PowerTrac Scooter for modern scooters.
- Confidence at every service visit through Next Hub Auto Care of Autohub Group, backed by Gulf’s century of research and development.
Moving Forward Together
As traffic gets tougher and vehicles become more advanced, Filipino motorists need partners they can depend on. The Gulf Oil–Autohub partnership is built on that understanding—bringing global technology, local expertise, and genuine care together so every drive feels safer and smoother.
