Hey newman, what kind/brand of oil was it?
No oil supplied with mine, but Champ tech said all are run at factory and oil drained, prior to shipping. I looked inside crankcase with a LED piston light, and yes there was residual oil. It had a card around the dip stick "fill oil before start up".
FWIW...I looked at Honda EU2200 owners manual PDF, and guess what?? It says to use 4-stroke automotive oil 10W30 with a rating of SJ or later. Any video they have, shows them using Honda power equipment oil, and you can purchase a service kit that contains spark plug, filter, and yes, Honda power eqip oil.
