Generator Maintenance
How often should I change the oil in my Onan generator?
Forum Discussion
Once a year like you would the main engine unless you put a lot more miles on it than most people. I run the same oil in both engines so there's no chance in mixing something up.
I was changing the generator air filter every year but after examining them (I get 50 - 60 hours a year on it) after the change, I've gone to every other year.
I get my oil changes done at Speedco and I prefer to take my own filters. They don't always have generator filters on hand. I prefer the Onan and Cat filters. They usually want to substitute another brand of fuel filter that doesn't have the bowl on the bottom.
