Use AMSOIL Synthetic Motor Oil

• Why AMSOIL? Unlike conventional oils, AMSOIL synthetic oils don’t thicken as much in the cold, ensuring that your engine warms up quicker and operates at peak efficiency sooner.
• Product Recommendation: AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil is ideal for motorhomes. It provides superior protection, reduces wear, and maximizes fuel economy, even in colder temperatures.

Check and Maintain Tire Pressure

• Why It Matters: As mentioned earlier, cold weather causes tire pressure to drop. For every 10-degree drop in temperature, tire pressure decreases by about 1 PSI. Underinflated tires can reduce fuel efficiency by up to 3%.
• Actionable Tip: Check your tires’ pressure before hitting the road and keep them inflated to the manufacturer’s recommended level. AMSOIL MP Metal Protector can be used on valve stems to prevent moisture from causing issues in cold weather.

Use AMSOIL Fuel Additives

• Why AMSOIL? AMSOIL fuel additives can help improve combustion efficiency, reduce deposits in the fuel system, and keep your engine running smoothly.
• Product Recommendation: AMSOIL Diesel All-In-One is perfect for motorhomes with diesel engines. It boosts cetane, cleans injectors, disperses water, and prevents gelling in cold temperatures, ensuring your engine runs efficiently.

Reduce Idling Time

• Why It Matters: Idling consumes fuel without getting you anywhere. Many people let their vehicles idle to warm them up, but this is inefficient and unnecessary with modern engines.
• Actionable Tip: Instead of idling, start your motorhome and drive gently for the first few miles. AMSOIL synthetic oils reach optimal operating temperature quickly, reducing the need for prolonged idling.

Lighten Your Load

• Why It Matters: The heavier your motorhome, the more fuel it consumes. Colder weather might tempt you to pack extra gear, but it’s crucial to pack smart.
• Actionable Tip: Remove unnecessary items and only pack what you need. Consider the weight of any onboard water and waste tanks as well. Reducing weight is one of the easiest ways to improve fuel efficiency.

Use AMSOIL Transmission Fluids

• Why AMSOIL? Just like your engine oil, transmission fluids can thicken in cold weather, leading to inefficient operation and higher fuel consumption.
• Product Recommendation: AMSOIL Signature Series Multi-Vehicle Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid is designed to resist the effects of cold weather, ensuring smooth and efficient transmission operation.

Perform Regular Maintenance

• Why It Matters: Regular maintenance keeps your motorhome running efficiently. Dirty air filters, clogged fuel injectors, and worn spark plugs can all reduce fuel efficiency.
• Actionable Tip: Replace air filters regularly, use AMSOIL Performance Improver Gasoline Additive to clean your fuel system, and ensure that your spark plugs are in good condition. Regular check-ups can prevent minor issues from becoming costly repairs.

Aerodynamics Matter

• Why It Matters: Increased air density during colder weather can exacerbate aerodynamic drag. Reducing drag helps optimize motorhome fuel efficiency.
• Actionable Tip: Secure loose items and close windows and vents while driving to reduce drag. Consider using an AMSOIL Miracle Wash Waterless Wash & Wax to keep your motorhome clean and aerodynamic.

Drive Smoothly

• Why It Matters: Aggressive driving habits, such as rapid acceleration, hard braking, and speeding, can drastically reduce fuel efficiency.
• Actionable Tip: Drive at a steady pace, use cruise control where possible, and anticipate stops to reduce braking. AMSOIL Power Foam can also help maintain engine efficiency by cleaning intake systems and combustion chambers.
