Shell hands out free oil for World Motorcycle Day

Oil giant Pilipinas Shell Petroleum Corporation gave riders free one liter of Shell Advance AX7 motor oil gassing up at select Shell mobility stations across the Philippines in celebration of World Motorcycle Day last June 21.

More than 5,000 riders received the semi-synthetic motor oil after fueling up with P150 worth of Shell V-Power gasoline.  

Shell Marketing Delivery Manager of Mobility Arvin Obmerga expressed the company’s full commitment to provide riders the products they need.

“We recognize the agile, reliable transport that the motorcycle provides especially to Filipinos who want a speedy and safe ride. We are committed to offer our motorcyclists quality fuels and lubricants that will power up their engine, reduce road risks by guarding it from materials that can clog it, and ultimately lengthen the lifespan of their bikes,” Obmerga said.

In a statement Shell said that it “recognizes the unique needs of these growing number of motorcycle riders, and launched the Shell Bida Biker fuel lanes last March 2020, which was a first in the country.”

“Shell pioneered the establishment of these lanes in select Shell stations to cater to all motorcycle riders, offering them a combination of premier fuel products as well as free services, like helmet and motorcycle seat cleaning that helped keep their vehicles in top shape,” the company claimed in a statement.

Formulated with Shell Active Cleansing Technology, Shell Advance AX7 ensures that the engine delivers more power and response while reducing its noise and vibration, and protecting and prolonging its life.

Shell Fuels Brand Manager Jerome David said that when combined with Shell V-Power, which is formulated with Dynaflex Technology, riders can enjoy improved acceleration and an overall smoother ride.  “Shell V-Power makes motorcycles powerful and, to date, is our best performance fuel for these vehicles," he added.

During the World Motorcycle Day promotion, Alvin Flores from Las Piñas expressed gratitude over the free product. "Maswerte po kami na naka-avail kami ng libreng langis sa halagang ₱150. Malaking tulong na po, lalo na ngayong panahon na naghahanap kami kung saan makakatipid. (We are lucky that we received the free oil by just refueling worth ₱150. This is a big help especially during these times that we are finding ways to cut on expenses).”

Agustin Estrada, who uses his motorcycle as means to earn his daily livelihood, shared his fellow rider’s sentiments upon receiving the gift from Pilipinas Shell.

“Maraming salamat sa free one liter na AX7. Malaking tulong ito at malaki ang matitipid dahil nasa ₱303 din ang 1L na AX7. Ikakarga ko nalang ang halagang natipid ko sa pagbili ng langis. Malaking tulong sa aming mga motorista ang mga special promotion and discounts ng Shell para sa amin (Thank you for the free one liter of AX7. This is a big help as a liter of AX7 costs ₱303. I can now use the savings to top up. This is such an assistance to us motorists),” he said.

Aside from the free oil, some retailers of Pilipinas Shell mobility stations nationwide also dressed up the stations to reflect the motorcycle community culture, while offering premium items such as Shell fuel vouchers, biker accessories, and helmets for bikers the whole day to complement the national promotion.
