MANILA, Philippines — Motorists in the Philippines will soon have wider access to premium engine oils and vehicle maintenance services after Gulf Oil Philippines formally partnered with the Autohub Group in an agreement launched February 23, 2026 in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig.
The collaboration aims to make internationally developed automotive lubricants more accessible through Autohub’s service network, catering to car owners, motorcycle riders, and fleet users seeking preventive maintenance and engine protection.
Bringing global lubricants to local service centers
Gulf Oil Philippines, part of the global Gulf Oil International network founded in 1901, supplies automotive and industrial lubricants used in passenger vehicles, motorcycles, and commercial transport. Through the partnership, its products will now be available across Autohub’s dealership and service ecosystem.
According to Gulf Oil Philippines General Manager Michael Alfred Francisco, the partnership bridges global engineering with everyday vehicle servicing.
“Through Autohub, our global expertise reaches Filipino motorists directly where they maintain their vehicles,” he said during the launch event.
Autohub Group, operating in the Philippine automotive market for more than 27 years, manages dealerships and service facilities for multiple car and motorcycle brands.
President and CEO Willy Tee Ten said the collaboration strengthens preventive maintenance offerings for customers.
“Our goal has always been to take care of every vehicle as if it were our own. With Gulf, motorists gain reliable maintenance solutions,” he said.
