Havoline and Techron Concentrate Plus: The Dynamic Duo in One Tune UpPack

caltex 7/08/2015 12:36:00 PM

Caltex Philippines provides your car with the ultimate protection it needs with the dynamic Havoline Tune Up Packs. Motorists can choose between Havoline ProDS™ Fully Synthetic ECO 5 SAE 5W-30 4-liter pack or Havoline Synthetic Blend SAE 5W-30 4-liter pack bundled up with Techron Concentrate Plus. This special deal allows motorists to save up to P450 each. The Tune Up Packs are available in selected Caltex gasoline stations nationwide.

Photo caption: Havoline Tune Up Pack comes in two variants: Havoline® ProDS Fully Synthetic ECO 5 SAE 5W-30 and Havoline® Synthetic Blend SAE 5W-30. Both comes with a 355 mL bottle of Techron Concentrate Plus. They retail at Php 2,486.84 and Php 1,480 respectively.

Havoline is one of Caltex’s most celebrated brands for gasoline engine oil, while Techron Concentrate Plus is the renowned patented complete fuel system cleaner.

“Your vehicle’s engine deserves the best protection it can get,” said Michelle Sayat, Chevron Philippines Marketing Manager for Lubricants. “Havoline Gasoline Engine Oil and Techron Concentrate Plus are two of our quality products that can provide the ultimate protection your vehicle needs for you to have hassle-free and worry-free journeys. A smooth drive is our ultimate goal. It is for this reason that welaunched our Havoline Tune Up Pack, a bundle package of Havoline Gasoline Engine Oil and Techron Concentrate Plus.”

Havoline provides four pillars of protection with its unique formula that contains Deposit Shield Technology, which acts as shield to (1) protect your vehicle’s engine performance and engine life, (2) maximize fuel economy, and (3) help protect the environment, as well as (4) the investment you have in your car. Havoline® ProDS™ Fully Synthetic ECO 5 SAE 5W-30 is the latest fifth generation fuel economy lubricant that offers motorists better fuel efficiency, reduces a vehicle’s overall carbon footprint with its low oil consumption, and is more suitable for city driving. On the other hand, Havoline® Synthetic Blend SAE 5W-30 is an engine oil for passenger cars and light trucks that has an advanced detergent formula that preserves and protects engines, maintains high power and performance, as well as reduces oil consumption, and saves on maintenance costs.

And while Havoline keeps the engine in good condition, Techron Concentrate Plus cleans up the entire fuel system—fuel injectors, intake valves, and combustion chambers—and keeps them free from unwanted fuel deposits, restores lost power and performance, and helps reduce emissions while maximizing fuel economy.

Techron Concentrate Plus was launched last February, while Havoline was re-launched April this year, together with the inauguration of the Drive to Protection: Tune Up for the Ultimate Road Trip Experience campaign. The road trip campaign aimed to further spread Havoline’s four pillars of protection and how it keeps the well-being of vehicles, making it fit for the ultimate road trip. During the campaign, the team visited top summer destinations to demonstrate the importance of how a well-maintained and cared for vehicle can give you the required protection needed especially for long drives.

My Experience at 8th Robinsons' Fit and Fun Wellness Buddy Run

8th Robinsons' Fit and Fun Wellness Buddy Run 7/07/2015 09:18:00 AM

It was July 5, 2015 when I first joined Robinsons’ Fit and Fun Wellness Buddy Run together with my hubby. It was the 7th Fit and Fun Wellness Buddy Run and in which I didn't actually completed the whole 5k run but finished it of course and passed the finish line.

This year, my hubby insisted that I should complete the 5K run because according to him it will be a great experience for me and I'll feel healthy. So this is it, I tried! At first, I enjoyed it but later on I felt tired already and the signage of 1k was still far. When we reached the first signage we took a photo, it was happy indeed.

I told my hubby that we should walk only, because if we run, it’ll be too tiring. My buddy (my hubby) was my boaster that day, when I am feeling tired and don’t want to continue, he would push me to move on. Until we reached the 2km, another photo op. Nearing the 3K signage, I told him that we should try to do a short cut because I’m really tired, my feet is aching, my muscles is crankng, but still he insisted, ‘til we reached the 3kms another photo op again.

Tired, sweating and feeling give up, but my buddy keep pushing me to do this. He was supposed to run but he kept his pace just to accompany me. It was a great feeling. We reached the 4kms no photo op because the poster/signage fell down because of heavy wind.

The finish line was getting nearer, I felt tired but with excitement because I will reached the finish line. And boom there we go, it was my first ever 5K fun run. Finally, I did it! I feel healthy, and yes, it was a great feeling and a great achievement for me.

Thank you so much to my buddy (my hubby) for the words of encouragement and thank you to Robinsons for letting me experience it and for the gift, the fruit of our hardship, the grocery that was given to all participants who joined the fun run.

Around 4,500 recreational runners took on the 5KM and 10KM run, including triathlete Nikko Huelgas, who recently bagged a gold medal for the sport at the 28th SEA Games. Philippine volcanoes captain Jake Letts, and celebrities James Reid and Jessy Mendiola were in attendance as well.

"While eating healthy is at the core of healthy life, we cannot discount the immutable contribution of exercise. And running is always better when done with a partner hence, the Fit and Fun Wellness Buddy Run," said Robinsons Supermarket Genral Manager Jody Gadia.

At the end of the run, top pair finishers received prizes from Robinsons Supermarket officials. 5K winners won a trip for 2 to coron, Palawan while 10K winners bagged a trip for 2 to Yangon, Myanmmar. 2nd to 5th place finishers received Robinsons Gift Certificates as consolation prizes.

Special awards from event sponsors were also given away. Outstanding pairs were awarded the following: Close-Up Couple Award, Rexona Do More Buddies, Breeze Sige Mom-child Tandem, Nestle Best Shape-Up Buddies, Milo Energy & Milo R2 Twin Buddies, and the Johnson & Johnson Active Fresh Award.
