When the Georgia summer heats up, classic car enthusiasts in Covington know it’s time to step up their vehicle care game.

That’s where AMSOIL Protection comes in. Specifically designed for the demands of vintage engines, products like AMSOIL Z-ROD®, premium coolants, and metal protectants offer a serious line of defense against the summer’s punishing heat and humidity.

If you want to cruise Covington’s summer car shows without worrying about engine wear, corrosion, or overheating, follow this guide to safeguarding your classic car — and learn why AMSOIL Z-ROD is the gold standard for enthusiasts who want nothing but the best.

Why Summer Is Tough on Classic Cars in Covington

Summers in Covington, GA, bring sweltering temperatures, thick humidity, and the kind of heat that can quickly damage vintage vehicles.
Older engines weren't designed with modern heat management systems, making them especially vulnerable to:

  • Oil breakdown under high temperatures
  • Increased engine wear from insufficient lubrication
  • Corrosion and rust from moisture buildup
  • Overheating from inadequate cooling systems

Classic cars, whether they’re lovingly restored or kept in pristine original condition, need specialized protection during the hottest months of the year.

AMSOIL Z-ROD®: The Ultimate Oil for Classic Car Engines

One of the biggest mistakes classic car owners make is using standard motor oil meant for modern engines. Vintage engines require a unique oil formula, especially one that offers high levels of ZDDP (zinc and phosphorus additives) to protect flat-tappet cams and other critical components. That’s where AMSOIL Z-ROD shines.

Benefits of AMSOIL Z-ROD® for Classic Cars:

  • Superior Wear Protection: High levels of ZDDP prevent metal-on-metal contact, extending engine life.
  • Rust and Corrosion Inhibitors: Essential for Georgia’s humid environment, even during storage.
  • Thermal Stability: Resists breakdown under Covington’s extreme summer heat.
  • Low Volatility: Reduces oil consumption, important for older engines with looser tolerances.

AMSOIL Z-ROD isn't just a motor oil — it’s a commitment to preserving your classic car’s legacy for years to come.

Cool Under Pressure: Why Premium Coolants Matter

While protecting your engine internally is critical, keeping your engine cool externally is just as important in a Georgia summer. Many older vehicles were not designed with today’s high-efficiency radiators, making them prone to overheating.

That’s why pairing AMSOIL Z-ROD with a high-quality AMSOIL coolant offers the ultimate combo for surviving summer traffic jams and slow crawls through downtown car shows.

Top AMSOIL Coolants for Vintage Rides:

  • AMSOIL Passenger Car & Light Truck Antifreeze & Coolant: Protects against boilover in high temps.
  • AMSOIL Heavy-Duty Antifreeze & Coolant: For larger engines or highly modified systems.

These coolants are formulated to prevent rust, corrosion, and scale buildup — common enemies of classic cooling systems.

Metal Protectants: Defending Against Georgia’s Humidity

Even when your classic car is tucked away in the garage, Georgia’s humidity can wreak havoc. Over time, moisture can lead to:

  • Rusted body panels
  • Corroded engine components
  • Electrical system failures

To guard against these issues, AMSOIL offers a range of metal protectants perfect for vintage vehicles:

  • AMSOIL Heavy-Duty Metal Protector: A long-lasting, wax-like film that clings to metal surfaces, offering extreme rust protection.
  • AMSOIL MP Metal Protector: A lighter spray that protects moving parts without gumming up mechanisms.

Applying these to exposed metal areas, engine components, and undercarriage sections can save you costly repairs and maintain your classic’s value.
