Not knocking the Champ, but something you may want to consider, Riders of Chinese motorcycles and other items have long known one of the best things they can do with a motorized device is change the oil almost immediately.
They typically change both the engine and tranny oils after only a few minutes operation to flush out most of the filings, which greatly increases longieviety.
I have never heard of any complaints concerning the Champs needing that practise, but the cost of a quart of oil is so low, that it seems prudent.
They don't come with oil, so that's not a problem.
I don't think that is what he is saying. I think he is saying once you put oil in it run it for a hour or so then change the oil with fresh oil. Champion says to do the same thing once you in box it.
X2 on this
I bought a champion that run on gas or propane last summer. Love it. Changed oil as manual recommended.
It's runs our 13.5 ac no problems. I also use it at home for mobile power for power tools etc
