Step-by-Step: Repairing Your RV Engine
1. Watch for Warning Signs
Your RV’s engine runs out of oil after a certain interval, triggering a blue “Check Engine” alert on screen. Don’t ignore this warning! If you delay too long, the truck will completely shut down, forcing a restart from the previous checkpoint.
2. Stop Immediately
The moment that blue alert pops up, hit the brakes. Continuing to drive with a damaged engine will only make repairs more expensive in terms of Motor Oil consumption.
3. Access the Engine Compartment
The engine is located underneath the bed at the back of the RV. Unlike real RVs, there’s no external access—you must enter the vehicle to reach the engine hatch. If you’re driving, ask a teammate to handle the repair while you focus on navigation.
4. Apply Motor Oil
Here’s how to complete the repair:
- Equip a Motor Oil bottle from your inventory
- Open the engine hatch under the bed
- Interact with the engine compartment to pour oil
- Repeat until the blue warning disappears
Pro tip: Stock multiple Motor Oil bottles on your shelves before starting your journey. Severe collisions or water damage can drain the engine quickly, requiring several bottles for a complete repair.
Where to Find Motor Oil
Motor Oil isn’t abundant in RV There Yet, making resource management crucial. You’ll find bottles scattered throughout the map, often near checkpoints and rest areas. Prioritize picking up every bottle you encounter—you never know when disaster will strike.
Preventing Engine Damage
Smart driving prevents constant repairs:
- Avoid massive collisions with rocks, trees, or cliffs
- Navigate carefully around water crossings to prevent water damage
- Use the winch instead of forcing your way through obstacles
- Let teammates scout dangerous areas before driving through
Remember, your engine takes damage from environmental hazards, not just time. Careful navigation saves Motor Oil for genuine emergencies.
Multiplayer Engine Management
Playing with friends? Coordinate engine maintenance effectively:
- Designate a mechanic who monitors engine status
- Driver focuses on steering while passengers handle repairs
- Call out alerts immediately when the warning appears
- Share Motor Oil locations through proximity chat
One teammate watching the engine health while another drives dramatically improves survival rates, especially during intense chase sequences with eagles or bear encounters.
What Happens If You Ignore Engine Problems?
Ignore the blue alert for a while, and the truck will completely shut down. This means instant game over, respawning at your last checkpoint. All progress since that checkpoint is lost, along with any Motor Oil you’ve used.

Q: How many Motor Oil bottles does it take to fully repair the engine?
A: It depends on damage severity. Minor issues from regular oil depletion require 1-2 bottles, but severe damage from major collisions or water crossings can require 3-5 bottles for complete restoration.
