- A QUICK OIL CHANGE IS JUST; DRAINING OUT THE OLD OIL, REPLACING THE OLD OIL FILTER AND THEN ADDING THE NEW OIL.
GENERAC STATES THAT THE OIL SHOULD BE CHANGED EVERY 200 HOURS OR EVERY TWO YEARS - WHICHEVER COMES FIRST.
IN THIS VIDEO YOU WILL SEE THAT THE GENERATOR STOPPED IN AUTO AT 11:12 AFTER STARTING AN EXCERCISE CYCLE AT 11:00. THAT'S 12 MINUTES OF RUN TIME. PERFORMED WEEKLY THAT'S ONLY 624 MINUTES PER YEAR. (10.4 HOURS PER YEAR.)
WHILE YOU'VE GOT THE FRONT OFF AND LID OPEN YOU SHOULD VISUALLY INSPECT YOUR GENERATOR FOR LEAKS, LOOSE PARTS, PROPER OPERATION AND EVEN THE HISTORY TO SEE HOW IT HAS DONE WHILE YOU WEREN'T WATCHING. (ON THE OLDER MODELS - WITHOUT THE WIFI LINK - I EVEN CHECK THE CLOCK FOR TIME OF DAY.)
THE ALARM HISTORY REPORTS UP TO 50 ALARMS BEFORE IT BEGINS TO WRITE OVER THE OLDER ALARMS. (I'VE SEEN ALARMS IN THE REGISTER FROM A DATE PRIOR TO PURCHASE. PROBABLY OCCURED ON A TEST RUN AT THE FACTORY.)
YOUR GENERATOR CAN TURN ON THE YELLOW LED REQUESTING EITHER A SCHEDULE A or SCHEDULE B SERVICE. YOUR OWNERS MANUAL CAN EXPLAIN. THE OIL CHANGE IS IN THE SCHEDULE A.
