I Will do a fuel system flush and a Gen set oil change also. (15-40 Rotella a good choice?)
Honestly I've always just used the oil/filter from Onan, it's not that much more expensive and never had any problems. I buy enough oil for a change and half, and 2 filters at a time.
This is a good thread to read over talking about issues using different type of oil; 5500 generator keeps shutting down after break in oil change
Thanks Y-Guy, I have read that article and found it very interesting, but my 4.0 GenSet has no oil filter. I recieved every owners manual that was supplied with the trailer including the GenSet. It states straigt 30wt for most normal conditions and temps, but suggest a multi grade for very cold conditions. Im not new to trailers, have had a 5th, several pulls, two motorhomes, etc. We dry camp more in the cold winter than the hot summer. Once a year we camp for the whole Deer season in No. Calif for the whole month of October.
What grade of Onan engine oil do you use? We have an Onan dealer/service center in West Sacto near my place of employment....
Oil cost is not an issue.
