Changed the oil on My Onan 2.5 microlight. Here is the interesting part. It shut down at exactly 100 hours while I was out camping. 100 hours is the recommended oil change interval. Big trouble. Only had an electric coffee maker. No coffee for me. Bad day.
Plenty of propane but no start. Oil full, battery full WTH?
owners manual nor service manual say at 100 hours it shuts down until you change the oil.
Well changed the oil and fired right up.
Lesson learned. carry a coffee maker for the stove and carry a 14mm socket, funnel and a quart of oil.
