10 hours on it now, mostly break in loads, but did use it for 4 hours when i had a tree come down in the dark, powering a charger and 1k lights. working great!
second oil change is still quite silver, will change it again on the next gas fill up
Curious, what is w/ the silvery oil ?
I have been an engine tech for many years, and silvery oil has always been bad news.
all new small engines i have ever dealt with have metal flakes when new, from everything wearing into place. it generally clears up by the 3rd oil change, i do change the oil quickly the first couple times.
it was still silvery after the 22 hour run.
i have seen silver in Honda,Brigs,Yamaha,Kolher, etc... everything new always wears in for a while.
