The Holidays are upon us, and that means it’s time for Christmas parties, family reunions, and gatherings. That said, Prestone — one of the foremost automotive lubricant companies in the country — shared a few tips to keep you and your family safe when you hit the road.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • What are some of the things you need to check on your car before a long-distance drive?

    According to Prestone, some of the things you need to check before a long-distance drive include the tires and brakes as well as the cooling and transmission fluids.
  • What are some of Prestone’s products that would make perfect presents for the Holidays?

    Prestone products that would make great gifts this Holiday season include the Prestone Dot 4 Brake Fluid, the Prestone Asian Vehicles Anti-Freeze + Coolant, and the Prestone Disinfecting Car Wipes.
  • Follow and maintain health protocols

    While it’s true that the threat of COVID-19 is not as scary as it was, many of us live with family members who might still be vulnerable to the virus. On that note, it’s best to not let one’s guard down and still follow and maintain health protocols.

    Have face masks ready at all times, maintain physical distance, and always wash your hands and disinfect surfaces when going out. Also, make sure to pack essential medicines like paracetamols and medications for car sickness.

    Prep the car for long trips

    Should you and your family decide to take on a long trip, make sure to prep your vehicle.

    Inspect the tires and brakes as well as the cooling and transmission fluids. Also, check the car’s tools so you’d be prepared in case of a breakdown.

    Long-distance driving takes a toll on both the vehicle and the driver, so make sure you are in the right condition to drive.

    Give loved ones the gift of safety

    And when you finally make it to your family reunion, give your loved ones the gift of safety with Prestone’s products.

    The Prestone Dot 4 Brake Fluid offers high-performance braking protection. Its high boiling point tolerance of up to 260 Celsius reduces  fading out of the brakes while on the road.

    On the other hand, the Prestone Asian Vehicles Anti-Freeze + Coolant optimizes engine temperature and prevents freezing while protecting the engine parts from build-up and corrosion thereby ensuring longer vehicle life.

    Meanwhile, the Prestone Power Steering Fluid protects power steering components against pump breakdown due to wear and tear, oxidation, and foaming.

    Finally, the Prestone Oil Additive protects against engine wear and tear and reduces oil consumption vastly improving engine performance.

    Further, you may top off your gift basket with Prestone Disinfecting Car Wipes. Unlike alcohol-based disinfectants, it disinfects car surfaces such as door handles, steering wheels, seats, and dashboards safely while killing 99.99 percent of viruses, including the pesky COVID-19 virus.
