i run 10w30 natural dino oil in the mild winter, 20-50 in the hot summer,
the only wear i've noticed , is with over 2000 hrs, it leaks oil around the crankshaft seals some place.
i normally do an oil change every (2) weeks, just because i run it so much. and I figure, if its bad weather or i'm sick or something interferes, i have some overage time built in.
my champion has more hrs than i ever was able to put on an onan or generac RV genset, had to replace a throttle spring a couple of weeks ago, I contacted champion and they shipped me th spring, i had to trim off the end for the correct lenght and bend the hook in it, took about 10 minutes for the whole job
for the avg RVer or home owner, i think any name brand 10w30 will be find, I don't think synthetic will make an appreciable amount of difference in non-wear or extended life
