Hitting the road this summer? Don’t leave without learning these Utah road trip essentials. Below, TenEyck Distributing in Saint George, UT, shares their best AMSOIL knowledge.
Summer’s here, and if you’re in or around Saint George, Utah, you know exactly what that means: it’s road trip season; and a spontaneous trip can quickly become a headache without the proper preparation. Blown tires, overheating engines, poor fuel mileage—these aren’t things you want to deal with out in the Utah desert. That’s why we’ve built a no-nonsense, go-anywhere, beat-the-heat road trip survival kit. And at the center of it? AMSOIL. From motor oil and fuel additives to detailing sprays that help fight back desert dust, AMSOIL products are the quiet heroes of summer travel.
If you’re looking for Utah road trip essentials, this guide is for you.
First, start your checklist with the heart of your vehicle: the oil. Hot temperatures and long miles demand an oil that won’t break down under pressure. AMSOIL’s Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil is engineered for high-heat protection, extended drain intervals, and low volatility. That means fewer oil changes and better engine durability, even when climbing steep canyon grades or crawling through bumper-to-bumper traffic in Zion. This is a no-brainer for Utah road trip essentials—especially if you want to avoid the roadside repair shop.
Fuel economy matters when driving across the state or hitting multiple parks in one week. And so does engine performance. AMSOIL P.i.® helps clean deposits from your injectors and combustion chamber, restoring lost horsepower and improving MPG. Toss a bottle into your fuel tank every 4,000 miles to keep things clean and smooth. It's beneficial if your trip includes lower-quality gas stations in rural areas. It's another key addition to any Utah road trip essentials list.
Desert dust is no joke. It gets into every crevice of your vehicle, coating everything. That’s where AMSOIL Mudslinger® comes in. This product isn’t just for off-road toys—it’s a great way to protect your paint and undercarriage from dust, mud, and grime. Spray it on before heading into the parks or a dirt trail. It creates a non-stick barrier that makes post-trip clean-up incredibly easy. Trust us, your detailing budget will thank you.
Are you carrying bikes, gear, or maybe a small trailer? All that metal-on-metal contact and exposure to dry heat can cause friction and rust. AMSOIL Heavy-Duty Metal Protector is the perfect item to add to your travel kit. It lubricates moving parts and protects against corrosion—great for trailer hitches, bike racks, and even door hinges.
Now that the vehicle itself is protected, let’s look at other innovative additions for a complete kit:
