Building the Ultimate Road Trip Kit for Utah Travelers

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.

The Foundation: AMSOIL Products for Peak Summer Performance

AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil

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.

AMSOIL P.i.® Performance Improver Gasoline Additive

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.

AMSOIL Mudslinger® — Because Clean Matters, Too

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.

AMSOIL Heavy-Duty Metal Protector

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.

Before you chase sunsets through Utah’s highways and byways, make sure your vehicle is protected with their AMSOIL P.i.® Performance Improver Gasoline Additive formula. Shop now at AMSOIL.com and call TenEyck Distributing in Saint George, UT, at (208) 589-4660 to order directly from an authorized AMSOIL dealer in the city.

Pro Tips for Road Tripping in Utah

Here are a few road-tested tips that can help keep things smooth:

  1. Top off your fluids before leaving Saint George. Check your oil, coolant, brake fluid, and washer fluid.
  2. Use AMSOIL Fuel Additives before long trips, especially if your vehicle hasn’t been driven much over the winter.
  3. Watch your tire pressure. High desert temps can cause fluctuations that lead to blowouts.
  4. Pack a cooler. Keep your beverages cold and avoid impulse gas station stops.
  5. Download your music and maps ahead of time. Many areas of Utah have spotty cell service.

Your road trip deserves more than basic oil. Head to the AMSOIL store to explore elite protection, then call TenEyck Distributing in Saint George, UT, a call at (208) 589-4660 to place your order with a trusted local expert.
