RV Care Guide

It's already the last day of February!  We are only 3 months away from summer and those fun summer road-trip vacations.  With the holidays behind us, it is the perfect time to start showing your RV some attention.  Below you will find our recommendations to keeping your RV (or any vehicle that sits for long periods of time) properly lubricated and ready for use when you are.



​1.  Start and drive once a month.  Fully warmed up and drive at least 30 miles.
2.  Oil change every 3,000 miles or 3 months.  Always perform an oil change before a trip.
3.  Have the house batteries plugged in to keep charge.
4.  Check water in batteries
5.  Sunshades on tires, curtains drawn in windows
6.  Check air pressure in tires
7.  Keep at least 1/2 a tank of fuel to prevent rust
8.  Check air bags once a month
9.  Frequently check for rodents, inside and out. If rodents are found, an 8ft leash and a killer yard cat are suggested. 
10.  Start and run the generator on the monthly drive.

We hope that these recommendations help you keep your RV in tip-top shape.  If there is anything we here at The Dyno Shop can do for you, give us a call 619-562-3933

Recommendations for Changing Filters

2/7/2018

It is best to follow the Severe Service maintenance schedules found in most new car owner’s manuals, with a few exceptions:

  1. Air filters need to be inspected regularly and replaced as often as needed, regardless of mileage or time.  Dirty air filters can increase fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.  Make it a habit to check them once a month, especially if you live on a dirt road!
  2. Fuel filters should be replaced yearly and/or at every tune-up, especially on fuel injected cars.  The fuel filter in a vehicle with electronic fuel injection passes a much larger volume of fuel than its counterpart in a carbureted application.  If the tank is dirty or rusty, constant fuel recirculation can pick up a lot of debris that ends up in the filter.  If the filter plugs, the engine is starved for fuel or unfiltered fuel is allowed to bypass the filter.  The latter can damage injectors.
  3. Oil filters need to be replaced at every oil change (every 3 months or 3,000 miles in most cases) despite the advice in many owner’s manuals.  A new filter is cheap insurance against major engine damage, so why take unnecessary risks?
  4. Few owners’ manuals have a suggested change interval for the automatic transmission fluid or filter unless the vehicle is used for towing.  Most transmission specialists say the best preventative maintenance for prolonging automatic transmission life is to change fluid and filter every two years or 30,000 miles.  Follow the manufacturer's recommendations  on the specific type of ATF to use.
  5. Don't forget about your Cabin Air Filter!  This filter is another one that is recommended to be replaced as needed.  Make it a habit to at least check this filter once a quarter, more if live or drive on dirt roads.
