How to Determine What Kind of Oil Your RV Needs
Before you put anything into your RV, make sure to read your user manual. There’s no better information than what you’ll get straight from the source. This should inform you about what you should and should not do to your RV.
But when it comes to the best full synthetic oil, there’s very little margin of error. In other words, you can’t really go wrong with synthetic oil.
However, by reading your manual, you’ll be able to find out just what thickness or viscosity your engine will be able to handle. That absolutely matters in either hot or cold climates where the temperature of your engine determines how well your automobile will function. Typically, full synthetic oils do come in different viscosities. The higher the viscosity, or thickness, the more resistance it has in the engine.
Synthetic oil is great for all engines. But just how great it is, depends on how great your engine is. Older, less efficient, RVs usually get the typical 5,000 miles out of synthetic oil (with cleaner results), but newer RVs can get as much as 10,000 miles out of it -- maybe more. That’s more than three times longer than conventional oil, for a much cleaner and healthier engine.
