It is an Onan 5500 gold with 7.8 hrs. I dont know how well these are as far as longevity, only use for temp power, or am I good to go. Not sure in this application how many hours are "to many"
Generators should be run under half load every month at least as long as it takes to get them fully up to temperature. With only 7.8 hours on yours it probably has not seen that kind of exercise. I would change the oil for starters, then run it with a heater plugged in for an hour or so.
