Meant to say 4 hours not 3 lol was not doing a hundred in the RV lolll. But ya we plan only to stop for gas we will have food on board. Hopefully the gen holds up, has been running good this past week. Any recommended oil for it? 98 microlite 4000Gotcha. The thing is in figuring the travel time, it's not only the time at the pump. You'll be slowing down to get to the station, positioning at the fuel island, maybe going in to pay. In the mean time, passengers will be in the restrooms or trying to find that one special kind of younameit on the shelf and so forth. Then its back slowly onto the road and back to speed.
You can estimate on your own but I've driven with a few different combinations across the US and it always averages about 50-60 mph average on the total. That's even in a car out West with the hammer down.
If you have an owner's manual. there should be recommendations in there for oil. With the small quantity needed and the lower prices of synthetics, I run synthetics in my small engines and cars. I use Motorcraft syn-blend in my truck because that's what the mfg calls for.I'm old school and still do my own oil changes so do them more frequently than the mfg's schedule.
