ONAN OIL FILTER

[M_GO_BLUE1]

I have the Onan 5500 Gold Marquis gas generator below model HGJAB - 1038D...

In changing the oil I use 15w-40 oil so I use Rotella 15w-40 that I use on my diesel truck...

Question is I need comparable oil filter to use as Onan will charge me $11 to ship a $9 oil filter...the Onan part # is 122-0836...is there a comparable oil filter out there that I can purchase at a local retail store??

go to filterbarn.com for filters... they have a zillion and will advise you on replacement filter number.

i get my filter for my onan at walmart.

I've been running 15-40 Rotella in my gas powered microlite and I run 10-30 mobile 1 in my lp vapor microlite. Works fine.

The Wix 51516 is a longer filter that fits the 5500. Makes it much easier to tighten/remove as it sits about an inch outside the housing.

I don't guess my Onan Microquiet 4KW has an oil filter. I went out to look today and did not find one. Even looked in the book and the only filter mentioned was air filter. Hate to sound stupid but I guess it does not have one. If I should switch to synthetic oil do I need to do anything other than just drain all of the oil and replace with proper weight synthetic?

Should have said it is gas powered.

I agree. NAPA has them.

Go to almost any auto parts store and give them the ONAN number and they will hand you a perfect fit with their brand of filter.
