RV Oil Change
Like any other vehicle, your RV requires routine maintenance to perform optimally. However, unlike every other vehicle, you cannot trust just any mechanic for your RV oil change, you need an experienced RV mechanic.
How Often Should I Change My RV's Oil?
If you follow the petroleum product's manufacturer guidelines, it will recommend that you change your motorhome's oil every three months or 3,000 to 5,000 miles. The confusion that most mobile homeowners face is that unlike a car, many RV travelers only log 5,000 to 6,000 miles over an entire year. RVs tend to spend a significant amount of time parked -which can lead to some problems, so routine maintenance is important. You can plan to change your motorhome oil every year or 6,000 miles unless you use a synthetic option. It is important to check your oil levels before taking your RV out to be sure that the levels are appropriate for the haul.
I'Ve Only Put 2,000 Miles on My Class C Motorhome, Do I Still Need to Change My Oil?
There is no blanket answer for the mileage driven and the suggested routine intervals for your RV's oil changes. It is best to refer to your owner's manual and warranty rather than the oil recommendations. While many synthetic petroleum-based oils boast that they can last up to 25,000 miles, your warranty may be void if you don't change your oil every three to six months. Check your owner's manual and warranty and discuss your scheduling options with your RV maintenance shop.
What Things Affect My RV Oil Change Routine?
Just like your car, there are many things that affect how often you should have your RV's oil changed. For instance, the engine temperature can greatly affect the longevity of all of your fluids. It is important to know how hot your motor runs to ensure your oil of choice can handle it. Oil quality can be dramatically affected by contamination with other substances, which can happen at the manufacturer or during operation.
