BSB Junrose Highlights LIQUI MOLY's Oil Authentication Technology at Manila Auto Salon 2026

Motorists purchasing LIQUI MOLY engine oils now have an additional way to check product authenticity through an upgraded QR code verification system, highlighted by BSB Junrose Corporation during a media briefing at Manila Auto Salon 2026, held November 13 to 15 at the SMX Convention Center Manila.

BSB Junrose, official Philippine distribution partner of German automotive lubricant specialist LIQUI MOLY, showcased the technology as part of efforts to help motorists make informed purchasing decisions and avoid counterfeit automotive products.

The system uses an individual QR code marked by a distinct green frame on supported LIQUI MOLY oil canisters, allowing customers to check whether the product they are purchasing is genuine.

"With the use of the upgraded QR code verification system, LIQUI MOLY is giving its customers a convenient, practical, and reliable way to instantly check the authenticity of the engine oils and LIQUI MOLY products they are buying in the local market," said Roland Braun, LIQUI MOLY Sales Director Asia, during the media briefing.

Strengthening protection against counterfeit oils

LIQUI MOLY first introduced QR codes on its oil canister lids in 2023 to support product traceability through unique batch information. In May 2026, the company began introducing an upgraded version featuring a green-framed QR code that enables digital authentication in real time.

The technology allows customers to scan the code using a smartphone and receive product information and authenticity feedback. When inconsistencies are detected, the system provides additional verification through LIQUI MOLY's authentication app.

Customers can also report suspected counterfeit products to LIQUI MOLY for further investigation.

Braun emphasized that product verification should form part of a broader approach to responsible vehicle maintenance.

"The QR code check can be part of your responsible and conscious purchasing, along with a thorough inspection of the packaging, the checking of the product details, and the verification of the correct oil specification for your car," he added.

Choosing the right oil matters

Beyond product authenticity, BSB Junrose President Ian Bangayan emphasized that motorists should also ensure they are using engine oils that meet their vehicles' prescribed viscosity and performance specifications.

Engine oils play an important role in reducing friction, protecting engine components from wear, and maintaining proper lubrication under different operating conditions. Using products that do not meet a vehicle manufacturer's requirements may compromise engine protection and performance.

"Counterfeit engine oil products have become rampant in the local market; thus, product authentication technology brought about by LIQUI MOLY is a great help for local consumers. BSB Junrose guarantees that all LIQUI MOLY products it distributes through its stores and partner resellers are 100% genuine. But we don't set aside the fact that due to incredibly lower prices of counterfeit products, many vehicle owners and customers are still deceived into buying and using fake auto supplies elsewhere," Bangayan said.

BSB Junrose assists customers in selecting appropriate LIQUI MOLY products based on their vehicle requirements, including recommended oil viscosity and performance specifications.

Counterfeit engine oils may contain inferior base oils or additives that fail to deliver the lubrication, oxidation resistance, and engine protection expected from genuine products. Such deficiencies can contribute to premature component wear and potentially costly engine damage.

Additional authentication measures

Aside from LIQUI MOLY's digital verification system, Bangayan said BSB Junrose applies its Quality System (QS) sticker to LIQUI MOLY products distributed through its network, providing an additional identification measure for customers purchasing from the company's stores and partner resellers.

The two measures serve different purposes: LIQUI MOLY's QR authentication system allows customers to check product authenticity through the manufacturer's digital verification process, while BSB Junrose's QS sticker identifies products handled through its local distribution network.

For motorists, the company recommends checking product packaging, verifying the appropriate oil specifications, and purchasing through trusted and authorized distribution channels.

Through its participation in Manila Auto Salon 2026, BSB Junrose aims to encourage greater awareness of product authenticity and proper maintenance practices among Filipino motorists.

Visitors can learn more about LIQUI MOLY products and the upgraded QR code verification system at the BSB Junrose booth during Manila Auto Salon 2026 at the SMX Convention Center Manila, Pasay City, until Sunday, November 15.
