The Original Equipment Suppliers Aftermarket Association (OESAA) is delighted to welcome lubricant specialist, Motul, onboard as a member of its organisation.

The company joins an illustrious list of brands that are passionate about championing original equipment (OE) quality and testing of products to the automotive aftermarket.

Based in France, Motul was the first lubricant manufacturer to pioneer the formulation of a completely synthetic lubricant for automotive engines, and it is trusted to supply both vehicle manufacturers and motor racing teams around the globe.

Motul UK and Ireland Country Business Manager, Callum Goodland, explained that the ethos behind OESAA “impressed” the company and pledged that Motul would be a “proactive and dedicated member”.

He continued: “We are well aware of the work that the organisation and the brands behind OESAA have achieved, from helping educate technicians about the fundamental differences between OE and non-OE, to delivering training at its pivotal Autoinform events in the UK and Ireland. These messages complement what we are doing with the Motul brand.

“We would like to immerse ourselves in OESAA’s training projects and other industry events. We have strong messages to share with both distributors and workshop technicians, which will prove invaluable in the short and long-term. OESAA provides us with a platform to demonstrate what a quality-led lubricant brand can offer the UK automotive aftermarket.”

OESAA Chairman, Nigel Morgan said: “We’re delighted to have Motul onboard to strengthen our campaign. It’s a brand that I know shares our passion for quality, one that is looking to forge a presence in the UK aftermarket in the way it has done in many European countries.

“Motul will certainly help us in our aim to get workshops more committed in supporting OE brands, by recognising that the parts quality and technical support they deliver is the best available.

“Put simply, they know that installing parts from OE suppliers will protect their customers – and their reputation.”
