Torque size

[vandave]

Can someone please tell me what size torque fits the oil change access on the on an 4000 generator. Thanks. None of mine seem to fit.

When I bought my trailer with a built in Onan it came with two Onan oil filters.

The first time I changed the oil I was surprised to find that my model doesn't use an oil filter. :B Why did they include two filters? :B

I just talked about this exact issue in another thread. I suggest you trash can the torx screws and replace them with metric hex head cap screws. (unless you're worried about someone (a terrorist maybe) tampering with the oil drain plug on your genny.

Why? I have had nothing but good luck with torx screws.

Checking my chart Ralph is correct. The #65 Schwansoculator does cross reference to the Torx #30 😉
Glad you figured it out.

[vandave]

And, for what's worth, the TORX size is 30

Say what?

Simply guessing you're asking about a bolt head size, get a ruler or tape measure and consider that it may be metric.

I think it may take a #65 Schwansoculator bit.


By the way, that's called humor, apparently not allowed here. Someone please hit the notify moderator button.

If it's the same as mine, there are 2 torx head screws holding a metal plate that needs to be removed for access to the oil drain plug. Sorry I don't remember the size. I have a set and just pick the one that fits. I think the drain bolt is 9/16, but not with 100% confidence.
