It’s time to step out of convention and gift your mother something useful and practical for this year’s Mother’s Day. Bosch Automotive Aftermarket Malaysia (Bosch AA) has a new special gift of thoughtful Do-It-Yourself car maintenance checks especially for you to celebrate Mother’s Day.
Gift your mother clear visibility on the road
Why not upgrade your mother’s car wipers to a pair of flat blade wipers for clearer vision and better safety while driving on the road especially in this rainy season? Bosch AA recommends the Bosch Aerotwin wipers.

Always take note of the wear and tear signs include scraping sounds, water stripes and streaks, large unwiped sections, jumping and skipping. The heat from intense sunlight can cause wipers to warp and crack faster.
Gift your mother clean and fresh air in the car
The quality of the air we breathe has seen increased importance in the past year. Cabin filters serve as the first line of defence to reduce the risk of exposure to air pollutants, airborne bacteria and viruses.

Replace the cabin filter in your mother’s car for cleaner and fresher air in the car. Bosch AA recommends the Bosch Aeristo Premium cabin filter, which has anti-virus, anti-bacterial, anti-allergen and anti-fungal properties.
Cabin filters should be replaced every year or every 15,000 km, whichever comes first. Common signs of a clogged cabin filter include unpleasant smells or exhaust fumes, increasing dust settling on car surfaces, frequent runny nose, sneezing and coughing.
Reduced coldness of the AC and frequent foggy windows also warrant a cabin filter replacement.

Gift your mother a smooth-running car
Take care of your mother’s next car service and bring it up a notch by getting her a quality engine oil to ensure the engine runs smoothly. Bosch AA recommends the Bosch Premium X7 5W40 Fully Synthetic Engine Oil.
Since you are also driving lesser during this time, gift your mother a Bosch C7 car battery charger to ensure her car battery is kept at an optimum charge.

Go the extra mile by keeping the car battery clean with an occasional wipe with a damp clean cloth. This can help prolong battery life, prevent battery terminal corrosion and keep the battery in optimal condition.
You can also help check for signs of a swollen battery case once in a while to avoid bigger car problems, like an exploding battery.
The Mother’s Day special campaign is done as part of Bosch AA’s ‘Drive for Life’ campaign. The campaign aims to advocate for safer cars and safer roads through raising awareness on the importance of using quality car parts and regular car maintenance.
