This ultimate fall RV maintenance checklist will guide you through essential steps and highlight how AMSOIL products can play a crucial role in your fall prep.

1. Change the Oil and Filter

Why It's Important:

One of the most critical maintenance tasks for your motorhome is changing the oil and filter. Old, dirty oil can lead to engine wear and reduced performance, especially in colder weather. Fresh oil ensures your engine remains well-lubricated and protected against wear and tear.

AMSOIL Solution:

The AMSOIL Signature Series is an excellent choice for motorhomes. Its superior formulation protects against engine wear, oxidation, and high temperatures. AMSOIL's Signature Series Max-Duty Diesel Oil offers exceptional protection for diesel engines, enhancing engine longevity and performance.

How to Do It:

1. Warm up your engine for a few minutes to thin the oil, making it easier to drain.
2. Drain the old oil and replace the oil filter.
3. Refill with AMSOIL synthetic oil, following your motorhome manufacturer's specifications.

2. Inspect and Replace the Air Filter

Why It's Important:

A clean air filter ensures that your engine receives the proper airflow, crucial for efficient combustion and optimal performance. A clogged air filter can reduce fuel efficiency and engine power.

AMSOIL Solution:

AMSOIL Ea Air Filters offer first-rate filtration and extended service life compared to standard filters. They trap more dirt and contaminants, helping your engine run cleaner and more efficiently.

How to Do It:

1. Locate the air filter housing.
2. Remove the old air filter and inspect it for dirt and damage.
3. Install a new AMSOIL Ea Air Filter, ensuring it fits snugly.

3. Check and Top Off Fluids

Why It's Important:

Fluids such as coolant, brake, and power steering are essential for your motorhome's performance and safety. Low or contaminated fluids can lead to overheating, poor braking performance, and steering issues.

AMSOIL Solution:

AMSOIL offers a range of fluids designed to provide superior performance and protection. For example, AMSOIL Antifreeze & Coolant protects against freezing and overheating, while AMSOIL Brake Fluid ensures optimal braking performance.

How to Do It:

1. Check the levels of each fluid using the dipsticks or gauges provided.
2. Top off fluids as needed, using AMSOIL products for the best performance.
3. Consider a complete flush and refill if any fluids appear dirty or contaminated.

4. Protect the Fuel System

Why It's Important:

Fuel can degrade over time, leading to varnish and sludge formation that can clog the fuel system. Adding a fuel stabilizer helps keep the fuel fresh and prevents these issues.

AMSOIL Solution:

AMSOIL Gasoline Stabilizer is specifically designed to keep fuel fresh for extended periods. It prevents oxidation and maintains fuel stability, ensuring your motorhome starts quickly in the spring.

How to Do It:

1. Add AMSOIL Gasoline Stabilizer to your fuel tank.
2. Run the engine for a few minutes to ensure the stabilizer circulates through the fuel system.
3. Top off the tank to prevent condensation.

5. Drain and Winterize the Water System

Why It's Important:

Water left in your motorhome's plumbing system can freeze and expand, leading to burst pipes and other damage. Properly draining and winterizing the water system is crucial to avoid these issues and achieve proper fall RV maintenance.

AMSOIL Solution:

AMSOIL Passenger Car and Light Truck Antifreeze protects your plumbing system from freezing and corrosion. It's safe for all RV plumbing systems and ensures that your motorhome's water system remains intact over the fall and winter seasons.

How to Do It:

1. Drain the fresh water tank, gray water tank, and black water tank.
2. Open all faucets to allow any remaining water to drain out.
3. Add AMSOIL RV Antifreeze to the plumbing system, following the manufacturer's instructions.
