Stamping their dominance in the local performance oil market, Motul Philippines staged the first “BoxerFest” at the Greenhills Commercial Center.

Organized by Blanco Marketing in conjunction with AutoPlus and Motor Image Pilipinas, BoxerFest highlights the innovation of Subaru’s horizontally-opposed or “boxer” engine, especially when lubricated and protected by Motul oils and lubricants.

The show was attended by 100 Subaru models in various states of tune and customization including all 7 generations of the WRX STI.

“This show is our way of expressing our support to the patrons of Motul and to highlight the benefits of using the only 100 percent real synthetic oil in the country today,” says Carlos Gono, Managing Partner of Autoplus, the exclusive distributor of Motul oils and lubricants in the country.


Aside from Subaru vehicles, Motul showcased a healthy dose of non-Boxer performance cars such as the Nissan GT-R. The Manila GT-R Club for instance displayed the 1,400-horsepower GT-R of Philippine Drag Racing Record Holder Jonathan Tiu.

“Only Motul can witihstand the rigors of racing and it is the only motor oil that we tested that works perfectly and we were able to maximize the power of the GTR’s engine,” says Tiu.

“We are happy with the turnout of the participants and enthusiasts in the first staging of BoxerFest. Plans are in the pipeline to stage more events next year,” says Noreen Blanco of Blanco Marketing.

This is the fourth automotive related event staged by Barangay Greenhills in the Greenhills Commercial Center as part of their “Hot Wheels in Greenhills” program.
