Blue genny guy did the unthinkable!
I have had my Yamaha 6300w inverter generator for at least 8 years and loved it ever since. Problem is the weight and size was a pain. On my Presidential Suite 5th wheel I built a special cargo rack...

8 hours sounds like the break in period, first run
Run it 8 under medium load change oil
Change it once every 6 months if it is just sitting in the garage and only run occasionally, did not get to 100 hours
If being used in daily or weekly service, change oil every 100 hours
Sounds like they forgot the descriptions that go with the chart
The above could be considered fairly typical
Actually according to the manual, the first 25 hours is the break in period. It says do not exceed 75% of rated output during this period and then change oil.
I'll err on the safe side and change earlier. It's only 20 ozs of oil.
Definitely will get one of those magnetized dip sticks. I have them for my two Honda 2000i generators and when changing the oil there's always a little black residue on the tip. Those two Hondas have over 3500 hours each. I change the oil at 40-60 hours.
