A milestone for the Philippine automotive industry as Autohub Group, led by President and CEO Willy Tee Ten, and Gulf Oil Philippines, represented by General Manager Michael Francisco (seated center), formalized a strategic partnership expanding Gulf’s presence across the Autohub network to deliver premium lubricants for preventive automotive care.

On February 23, 2026, at Bonifacio Global City in Taguig, two icons of Philippine motoring—Autohub Group and Gulf Oil Philippines—came together with one shared mission: to give Filipino motorists better, more reliable care for the vehicles they depend on every day.

The partnership is a milestone for the industry. Autohub, with its 27 years of experience and a dealership network spanning 80 dealerships across 19 brands, will now offer Gulf Oil’s premium lubricants to its clients. Gulf, with a 125-year global legacy and 28 years of presence in the Philippines, brings unmatched expertise in lubrication technology, from motorsport heritage to modern-day electric vehicles.

Autohub has long been recognized as one of the country’s leading “super dealers,” trusted by generations of Filipino motorists. Gulf Oil, meanwhile, is a name synonymous with motorsport glory—its iconic orange disc seen at Le Mans, Formula 1, and MotoGP. But beyond racing, Gulf has consistently adapted to the needs of everyday drivers, offering oils and fluids that meet or exceed manufacturer requirements.

Together, the two companies are bridging global innovation and local expertise. This partnership ensures that every vehicle serviced at Autohub dealerships—whether brand-new, out-of-warranty, or even electric—can benefit from Gulf’s extensive product line.

The collaboration is not limited to traditional vehicles. Gulf’s product portfolio includes solutions for high-performance engines, modern sedans, motorcycles, scooters, and even electric vehicles. Among the highlights:

  • Gulf Formula Elite – engineered for sustained peak performance in high-performance engines.

  • Gulf Ultrasynth GDI – designed for modern cars and premium sedans, ensuring smooth city driving.

  • Gulf Syntrac – premium protection for high-performance 4-stroke motorcycles.

  • Gulf PowerTrac Scooter – tailored for today’s scooters, supporting the growing two-wheel market.

Every service visit at Autohub’s Next Hub Auto Care centers will now be backed by Gulf’s century of research and development, giving customers confidence in every kilometer they drive.

“Gulf has always been about moving forward and finding better ways to keep vehicle engines running at their best,” said Michael Alfred Francisco, General Manager of Gulf Oil Philippines.

“Through Autohub, that global expertise now reaches Filipino motorists right where they service their vehicles.”

For Autohub, the collaboration strengthens its long-standing promise to customers. Willy Tee Ten, President & CEO of Autohub Group, shared:

“Our goal has always been simple—to take care of every vehicle as if it were our own. With Gulf, we can give Filipino motorists preventive maintenance they can truly rely on.”

As traffic grows 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, smoother, and more reliable.
