Re: Diesel Genny cuts out with error Oil Temp-press!
I wish I could tell you what the issue is, but I have the same problem crop up frequently on my View with the diesel generator. I've tried various oil levels and different oils (including synthetics). The error does seem to happen more often when using synthetic oil. It happens sporadically, but mostly at higher temps (90+). Sometimes the generator will run fine when in motion, sometimes it dies. Sometimes it runs continuously for 8 hours without a problem, sometimes it shuts down with no warning after 30 minutes. Sometimes it starts right back up and runs for hours, sometimes it starts back up and runs for 5 minutes (until I let it cool down). I've gotten used to it, but I'm taking it to Onan before the warranty is out.251Views0likes0CommentsRe: Locate Onan oil sensor switch
If you recently added oil, it could be overfilled. This happened with me once when I topped off the generator and it would die after 12-15 minutes. I drained some oil out till the dipstick showed a bit below the full mark and it ran for hours without a hiccup.830Views0likes0CommentsRe: Winnebago View Profile Community

I was quite surprised myself, but after 120 hrs or so on the genny, both my wife and I noticed it was definitely quieter inside the coach. I also use synthetic oil in the generator. Not sure if it has anything to do with it or not, but it seems to purr in comparison to what it sounded like new.633Views0likes0CommentsRe: Winnebago View Profile Community
I have the diesel gen on my 2011 24J. We travel with cats and use the generator a lot in hot weather for the AC. If there is no breeze, we will notice the diesel smell a lot when exiting the vehicle. We got a genturi and use it whenever we are off the grid and need to use the generator for extended times. It has eliminated any issues with diesel smell. As to noise, it seems to be quieter with use. It is noticeably quieter from inside the coach (even when the AC is off). However, it is always going to seem loud (from the outside) in a very quiet environment.633Views0likes0Comments
