MANILA, Philippines — Spanish energy giant Repsol, together with its local partner Unioil Lubricants Inc., officially introduced its next-generation motorcycle oil line to the Philippine market in an event hosted by TV personality and motorcycle enthusiast Drew Arellano.
The launch marks a major shift in how Repsol presents its products—moving away from traditional packaging to a cleaner, color-coded lineup categorized by how riders actually use their bikes.
Motorsport Tech Built for Daily Riding
Repsol’s long history in international racing—including decades in MotoGP—underpins the new lineup. Repsol representatives emphasized that the rebrand aimed to bring the exact formulations tested on high-intensity tracks to everyday road users.
“We decided to change not only the bottle color, but the way we communicate the value and technology inside each bottle. The exact lubricants we run in Moto2 and Moto3 are now products you can buy and put directly into your own motorcycle.”— Silvio Frasman, Product Manager, Repsol
The Four New Product Ranges
Instead of confusing technical jargon, the new oils are divided into four clear tiers based on engine type, riding style, and daily demands:
| Product Range | Best For | Key Specs & Performance |
| Extreme | High-performance, track days, high RPMs | 100% Synthetic, $5\text{W-40}$ formula featuring Racing Power Technology. Designed for maximum thermal stability, precise clutch response, and extreme heat resistance. |
| Explorer | Long-distance touring, adventure riding, big bikes | Synthetic base formulation built for high endurance and long rides. Includes specialized variants like Explorer V-Twin Custom for heavy cruisers. |
| Urban | Daily commutes, city traffic, delivery work | Engineered specifically to handle constant stop-and-go traffic and high engine heat. Available in dedicated formulations for both manual/clutch bikes and automatic scooters. |
| Rider | Reliable everyday protection | Accessible multi-grade oil focused on long-term engine life, wear protection, and smooth performance for daily utility riding. |
Complete Care Beyond Engine Oil
Along with the flagship engine oils, Repsol introduced a supporting line of specialized bike maintenance products:
- Drive & Transmission: High-performance gear oils and specialized transmission fluids.
- Cooling Systems: High-boiling-point engine coolants tailored for tropical weather conditions.
- Braking: Heavy-duty brake fluids designed to prevent vapor lock under heavy load.
