RV Travel Is an Iconic American Pastime

Especially when it involves winding through the majestic red rock canyons, desert plateaus, and scenic byways of southern Utah, yet, as temperatures soar past 100°F, you must pay special attention to RV summer maintenance. Heat, elevation changes, and long climbs through desert passes can push your RV to its limits. That’s where AMSOIL products give you the confidence to explore even the hottest roads without a breakdown.

In this post, we’ll show you how to heat-proof your RV using AMSOIL products and provide practical tips for preparing your cooling system, engine, and fuel system for Utah’s rugged terrain.

Choose An Engine Oil for High-Temperature Protection

If your RV has a diesel engine, synthetic diesel oil is one of the smartest moves you can make. Conventional oils can break down under high heat, losing viscosity and leaving vital components vulnerable.

AMSOIL Heavy-Duty Synthetic Diesel Oils are formulated for extreme temperature performance. AMSOIL 5W-40 Heavy-Duty 100% Synthetic Diesel Oil is perfect for towing or hauling through Utah’s backroads and national parks.

This formula offers maximum thermal stability in hot climates:

  • Superior film strength for high-load towing
  • Longer oil change intervals for extended road trips

Upgrade Your RV’s Cooling System Defense

Next to oil, your RV’s cooling system is its most important line of defense against breakdowns in the desert heat. Climbing high elevations in July puts a serious load on your radiator and coolant. You need more than standard antifreeze—you need coolant enhancers that can actually lower operating temperatures and protect against heat soak.

AMSOIL Coolant Boost lowers engine temps, improves heat transfer efficiency, prevents boilover during long climbs, and protects aluminum and other metal components from corrosion. This formula helps your engine stay cool and your trip stay on track!

Your RV deserves the best in summer maintenance.

Keep Your Fuel System Clean and Efficient

Utah’s heat and elevation can lead to poor fuel combustion, vapor lock, and injector clogging. Clean fuel delivery is essential to keep your engine running smoothly, especially during uphill drives or trailer towing.

AMSOIL Diesel Injector Clean + Cetane Boost can help you clean dirty fuel injectors and boost cetane for more efficient combustion, improve cold starts in high-altitude areas, and restore lost power and fuel economy For gas-powered RVs, AMSOIL also offers Performance Improver Gasoline Additive, which fights carbon deposits and maximizes MPG.

Don’t Forget the Transmission and Differentials

Hot weather doesn’t just affect the engine! It can wreak havoc on your RV’s transmission and differentials, especially when pulling steep grades in Utah’s canyons.

Use

Both offer superior protection in extreme temperatures and under heavy load conditions. Transmission failure on the road can cost thousands. Consider checking transmission fluid color and level before a July road trip—if it's dark or smells burnt, it's time for a change.

Build a Summer Maintenance Checklist

To stay ahead of summer problems, build a checklist of RV summer maintenance tasks. Here’s a quick sample:

  • Engine oil and filter change
  • Transmission fluid check
  • Coolant flush or top-up with Coolant Boost
  • Fuel system cleaner added
  • Air filter inspected/replaced
  • Brake and power steering fluids checked
  • Tire pressure adjusted for heat and elevation
  • Generator oil changed
  • Roof and window seals checked for heat damage

Integrating AMSOIL products into this checklist ensures your RV is ready for long, hot miles through red rock country.
