As we celebrate Father’s Day, what does one give to the most important men in all our lives: our fathers. Let’s face it, gifting our dads is a lot trickier than we would think. 

 

But luckily, our dads have one common thing that they can all relate to: their love of all cars. For our dads, their cars are not just an extension of themselves but it is a means for them to get the family together for that road trip bonding time. 

 

And since road trips are opportunities to re-establish familial ties, it pays to play it safe on the road at all times. To make sure that safety is a top priority when going on family trips, Prestone, a proven and trusted quality brand of Auto Care fluids since 1927 and an advocate of road safety, shares some important gift suggestions so our dads can keep us all safe as we look forward to the next road trip this Father’s Day. 

 

Brake care 

 

Getting only the best brake fluid will ensure a safe trip all the time. Aside from checking the braking system, using the right brake fluid is a must since it is vital for lubrication and protection from corrosion of the metal parts. And since brake fluids are susceptible to heat, this contributes to unwanted water absorption and leads to brake failure. 

 

Prestone’s DOT 3 or DOT 4 Synthetic Hi-Temp Brake Fluid gives incredible performance in high-temperature braking systems and provides increased fluid life. It also prevents any metal corrosion within the braking system and is suitable for a disc, drum, and anti-lock braking system. 

 

Keep your engine cool 

 

Keeping a cool head on the road is sensible. But this is also true for the car’s engine. After all, the last thing your dad would want is for you all to be bogged down in some unsafe area simply because the engine overheated. Since cars are made by different manufacturers, it is only right that you give your dad the right engine coolant to match his car’s make and brand. 

 

Prestone Asian Coolant takes care of the system of your vehicle. It maintains your vehicle’s engine temperature and avoids overheating, whether the car is new or old. It also helps protect from any unnecessary build-up and corrosion in the different parts of your dad’s car’s cooling system.  

 

Prestone Engine Coolants also come in Long Life Concentrate and Long Life Ready-to-Use for All Makes All Models.  This coolant caters to any vehicle’s model and make due to its patented formulas. 

 

Safety also goes beyond engine care 

 

Safety is also not just about being safe on the road. As the country is still in the grip of the COVID-19 pandemic, having disinfecting wipes on hand all the time, is just as important as using the right car fluids. 

 

Prestone Disinfecting Car Wipes eliminate 99.9% of bacteria and viruses, including the COVID-19 virus in just one minute. These are also safe to use on the dashboard, console, steering wheel, window buttons, door handles, and gear stick, and other surfaces your dad or indeed, any member of the family may come in contact with. 

 

Only buy from reputable dealers 

 

And don’t forget, to buy  only authentic Prestone Coolant, Prestone Brake Fluid, and Prestone Disinfecting Car Wipes from reputable stores and distributors.  

  

To know that the products are authentic, check the product details and look for misspelled texts and information on the labels. Be sure it has a PS mark or ICC stickers issued by the Bureau of Philippine Standards.  

 

That way, you can be sure that you are getting only the best products for the greatest man in your life: your dad. 

 

“Prestone has always been committed to advocating everyone’s safety. This Father’s Day, consider giving your dads a gift that he can use to ensure the safety of the whole family,” said Monique Gonzales, Marketing Manager for Southeast Asia at Clorox International. “So, when he takes you all to a getaway spot, he will know that you are all safe and sound under his care.”  

  

Aside from coolants, brake fluids, and car wipes, Prestone has other cutting-edge car care products, such as motor oils, power steering fluids, automatic transmission fluid and more.
