Are we going to see a hurricane in a couple days?

Absolutely . Check the oil first .

I havent added gas or oil. Figured it would store better that way, but yeah thanks for the reminder

My son used my Generac Inverter generator during the hurricane so I changed the oil in it a little while ago . Probably didn't need it but now I know where I stand .

Changing oil is harped on in the gen world, must be a good reason!

Yeah , I don't get it . OPE can go for a lot of hours but it seems like generators need oil changes after every use . Well , that may be exaggerating a bit but you know what I mean .

Yep, my 2000watt gen doenst hold a lot of oil and is easy to change so i stick to the schedule as much as possible.

Buddy bought a N gas generac after Katrina & His family went to his house for a week while he was away. His regularly changed Moble1 was burnt & 1 1/2 qt low. That one was Mitsubishi Car engine, my Mon’s has Onan V twin Generac. Mom’s runs on propane & the oil always looks brand new. The Natural gas & Propane run very clean compared to Dino juice. I bet the fuel, engine design & Cooling system are what affects your oil the most. Cooling is Very important.
