Filipino-owned BSB Junrose Corporation has partnered with Liqui Moly, a globally trusted German brand of motor oils, additives, and engine protection technologies, to provide the Philippine motorcycle community with efficient motor oil supply amid rising fuel prices and ensure smarter vehicle operation more than ever.
BSB President Ian Bangayan emphasized during a media gathering at the 10th Makina Moto Expo, held at the SMX Convention Center on April 10, 2026, that while the demand for motorcycles continues to increase, riders and pillion passengers alike are placing greater importance on three key performance aspects: safety, reliability, and fuel efficiency. In this environment, riders are seeking solutions that improve efficiency without compromising performance and safety.
Bangayan explained that through lubrication innovations such as MoS₂ and Molygen, Liqui Moly helps reduce internal friction, improve efficiency, and protect engine performance over time.
MoS₂ works by minimizing metal-to-metal contact, reducing friction and wear inside the engine. Molygen, on the other hand, helps keep the engine clean by reducing carbon deposits and supporting smoother operation over extended use.
Minimizing internal friction results in smoother, quieter engine performance and allows the engine to operate more efficiently, using less fuel over time.
Efficiency
“As fuel prices continue to rise, these technologies help riders maximize every liter and reduce unnecessary fuel loss,” said Bangayan. “When we look at the bigger picture, it is no longer just about individual components. It is about how efficiency and safety work together to support better, more reliable riding. We may not control fuel prices, but we can control how efficiently we use fuel.”
Alongside Liqui Moly motor oils, additives, and motorcycle care products, the BSB Junrose booth also featured Brembo motorcycle braking components, reinforcing the importance of safety alongside efficiency, as well as JTEKT bearings, Bosch horns, and motorcycle batteries.
Not all fuel that enters an engine is fully utilized or converted into usable power. Everyday riding conditions such as traffic, heat, and short-distance travel contribute to increased internal friction, carbon buildup, and reduced overall efficiency.
Over time, these factors lead to higher fuel consumption, reduced mileage, and lower engine performance. They may also contribute to increased maintenance requirements and long-term repair costs.
