Gulf Oil and Autohub Group Enhance Automotive Care Services for Filipino Motorists in the Philippines

Two respected names in the motoring industry recently joined forces with a shared mission: to provide Filipino motorists with more dependable and high-quality care for the vehicles they rely on every day.

Leaders at the helm of a new partnership: (L-R) Mr. Willy Tee Ten (Autohub Group President and CEO) and Mr. Michael Alfred Franciso (Gulf Oil Philippines) formalizes a strategic collaboration.

Gulf Oil Philippines—a trusted provider of globally recognized automotive and industrial lubricants—has officially partnered with the Autohub Group, one of the country’s leading car and motorcycle “super dealers.” More than just a ceremonial signing, this collaboration marks the start of greater access to world-class lubricant technology for everyday drivers, 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.

Autohub Philippines President Mr. Willy Tee Ten and Gulf Oil Philippines General Manager Mr. Michael Franciso led the signing ceremony bringing premium lubricants and preventive vehicle care closer to Filipino motorists.

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.
