Rising vehicle production in the country, a shift in customer preference towards synthetic lubricants, and growing demand for high-performance lubricants are some of the major factors propelling the growth of Philippines automotive lubricants market. Synthetic lubricants offer better performance in tough conditions, longer lifespan, and enhanced engine protection compared to traditional mineral oils, which makes them a lucrative option.
The adoption of bio-based lubricants is on the rise due to their eco-friendly characteristics. These lubricants are both biodegradable and non-toxic, providing comparable or even better performance than synthetic and mineral alternatives.
Moreover, to enhance the effectiveness of lubricants, manufacturers in the country are dedicating resources to research and development, focusing on the production of advanced additives which aim to improve properties such as thermal stability, wear protection, and viscosity index, among others.
Higher repair and maintenance requirements, increased automobile sales, and increased preference for personalising automotive lubricants as per vehicle need are accelerating the Philippines automotive lubricants market value.
Leading automotive lubricants brand, ExxonMobil Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd. has appointed Juliana Holdings Inc. as its official distributor in the Philippines. Juliana Holdings is a global leader in the FMCG sector and will hereafter be distributing Mobil’s premium lubricant products such as Mobil 1, Mobil Super, Mobil Super Moto, and Mobil Delvac to automotive and motorcycle workshops across major cities in the Philippines. The partnership is expected to strengthen ExxonMobil’s presence in the country’s local automotive lubricant market.
General Petroleum launched a new line of automotive lubricants in the Philippines market which include engine oils, transmission fluids, hydraulic oils, and speciality lubricants. These have been engineered to meet the diverse needs of Filipino businesses and consumers. The company claimed that the new lubricant products were formulated using advanced technology and high-quality base oils as well as additives to optimise equipment performance and extend service life.
Italy-based global energy company, ENI, known for the exploration, development and extraction of natural gas and oil introduced its specialized range of automotive lubricant products at the Philippines’s Inside Racing Bike Fest and Trade Show 2024. The products included transmission oils, brake fluids, greases, and other car care lubricants.
Philippine Shell Petroleum Corporation signed a three-year agreement with Chery Auto Philippines whereby Shell’s automotive lubricants will be utilised for after-sales maintenance of Chery’s automobiles. The agreement gives special emphasis to Shell’s Helix HX7 5W-40 multi-grade motor oil developed for enhancing the performance and reliability of motor engines.
According to the Philippines automotive lubricants industry analysis, the average lifespan of a vehicle in the country is 15 years or more. During this phase, proper maintenance is a frequent requirement to prevent early deterioration. Hence, the use of efficient and high-performance lubricants is extremely essential for market growth.
Automobile sales are drastically increasing in the Philippines owing to declining prices and favourable financial packages offered by industry players. The International Trade Administration estimated a rise of 27% in the sales volume between 2021 and 2022. This value is expected to grow further during the forecast period, thereby increasing the overall revenue of the automotive lubricants industry.
Lubricants are conventionally sold in plastic packaging which is harmful to the environment. This has led to a growth in the demand for sustainably packaged lubricants in the Philippines. Major industry players are investing in the same eyeing future stability in the market. For instance, Repsol, a key market player, introduced a new type of packaging for its lubricants that contains 60% mechanically recycled plastic.
Higher disposable income and greater awareness about engine efficiency have persuaded the Filipino population to invest more time and research while choosing suitable lubricants for their engines. This has created new market opportunities for automatic lubricants, where industry leaders are striving to develop lubricants customised to the needs and preferences of vehicle owners.

The market players are increasingly developing bio-based lubricants amid rising environmental issues.
The Philippines' automotive lubricants industry confronts persistent challenges tied to product integrity and consumer education. Counterfeit and adulterated engine oils sold through informal channels remain a recurring concern raised by the Department of Trade and Industry's Bureau of Product Standards, which administers the Philippine National Standards for engine oils, while Petron, Pilipinas Shell, and BP Castrol continue to run consumer awareness campaigns. Limited consumer familiarity with API service categories such as SP and ILSAC GF-6 also complicates trade-up to higher specification synthetic grades.
Structural restraints have intensified through 2026. The Philippines imports nearly 95% of its crude oil, with Middle East refiners supplying the bulk of feedstock, and the peso's slide to record lows past 60 against the US dollar during March 2026 raised landed costs of base oils and additives. Excise duties under the TRAIN Law continue to weigh on retail pricing, while the Chamber of Automotive Manufacturers reported a 47-month low of 27,225 units in April 2026, compressing factory-fill volumes for OEM channels.
Opportunity is concentrated in the electrification pivot and premium segment expansion. CAMPI data show hybrid sales up 242% year on year in April 2026, supported by the EVIDA Act and the Comprehensive Roadmap for the Electric Vehicle Industry, while Repsol's 40% stake in Unioil Lubricants and Motul's March 2026 NGEN range using up to 75% regenerated base oils strengthen domestic positioning.
