I have a onan 5500 generator, model #5.5HGJAB-1038K.I am trying to get a part # for a synthetic oil filter so that I can run mobil 1 synthetic oil in my generator. Im hoping someone has already found a good part# and can share that with me. not having any luck with cross referances.
So, . . . . where is it that you got this "valuable information" that if you run/use synthetic oils, . . . . . you need a special synthetic oil filter? (hint: in this application, you don't need synthetic oils, the manufacturer (Onan) suggest this)
IMO, . . . . this is just . . . laughable. (well, . . . . when you study/understand the engineering/chemical information readily available today) Nice try!

If you want the BEST filtration the media will be Synthetic VS Cellulose.
Also just because they say you don't need Synthetic they are to saying DON'T.
If you want to run Synthetic please do so.
