AMSOIL for RVs and motorhomes
RVs place unusual demands on engines, drivetrains and support equipment. This guide helps you research AMSOIL products for motorhomes, tow vehicles and common RV maintenance needs before you order.
Maintenance guidance with real tow-vehicle experience
World Class Lubricants combines AMSOIL product data with hands-on RV tow-vehicle maintenance content, including diesel filtration and drivetrain service topics that matter when a truck spends its life towing.
Start with the engine and chassis
A motorhome can combine a gasoline or diesel engine, transmission, differential, wheel-end components and filters in one large platform. Tow vehicles add another set of maintenance needs. The safest starting point is always the manufacturer-required viscosity and specification, followed by AMSOIL's vehicle or product lookup.
Common RV product categories
Diesel Engine Oil
For diesel-powered motorhomes and diesel tow vehicles.
Motor Oil
For gasoline-powered motorhomes, tow vehicles and support equipment.

Find the correct fluid for automatic and manual transmission applications.

Don't forget the tow vehicle
If your RV is a travel trailer or fifth wheel, your tow vehicle often works harder than it does in normal commuting. Use our product-selection guide to confirm the correct oil viscosity, transmission fluid, gear oil and filters for your exact year, make, model and engine.

RVs put long-duration load on lubricants
Motorhomes and tow vehicles often operate for hours at highway speed while carrying significant weight. Heat, mountain grades, long storage periods and seasonal travel all make routine fluid checks important.
Motorhomes
Engine oil is only one service item. Transmission fluid, differential oil, generator oil and chassis lubrication may all have separate schedules and specifications.
Tow vehicles
Diesel and gas trucks used for towing can place extra heat into the engine, transmission and axles. Review severe-service maintenance guidance where applicable.
Storage periods
RVs may sit for weeks or months. Check fluid levels, leaks, fuel condition and battery status before returning the vehicle to service.
Plan maintenance before a long trip
Before travel, confirm engine-oil condition, filter service, transmission and axle fluids, coolant, tire condition and any generator maintenance due. For diesel tow rigs, also see our AMSOIL for towing and diesel engine oil guides.
