Oil used for an Onan for a 2014 Sunseeker
Just wondering what oil most of you use on the Onan Microquiet. Mine is a 2014.It says any 30 wt. would be ok but would like to be a little more specific. Thanks for all the help

Bednarski,
You have a 2014 generator.... most likely it is still under warranty. I'd use the grade of oil recommended by ONAN in your owner's manual FOR THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE RANGE YOU EXPECT before the next oil change. There's a chart in the manual that will get you on the right track. FWIW, a 30W is good between 32F and ?, the manual does not give an upper limit. 15W40 will go from about 15F to 100F, and above. You can not go wrong using Onan's product, ONAMAX. A last point, it is important to change the oil at 20 hours. The next O/C is at 150. Again, it's in your manual.
Oil, diesel, or LP gensets should be using the same oil for the same operating temperature range. But! Check your manual.
