generator: what kind of oil goes into this generator?

Since this is a 4 stroke engine, using 5W30 is safe for all conditions, but a thicker oil (like 10W40) may be better for really hot conditions

When I received the tiller there was oil with it. I just had to pour it in.

I'm not sure what kind of oil is in it, but it's a lubrication oil, coolant & disinfectant. You still need Andis clipped oil also.

Add a fuel stabilizer and leave the gas in it. The amount of gas in the tank dose not matter. I started to use fuel stabilizer years ago and since I have no problems starting seasonal equipment even after months of inactivity. I try to start my generator about once a month to move oil around and lubricate internal engine parts

I would check motor specs for oil in each motor. This oil would fine in a snow blower or mower.

That's a good question. I don't know the answer, but I will the next time I change my oil. I'm going to send a sample of my oil to Blackstone Labs and should find out.

Carolyn, the low oil shutdown feature is designed to ensure that the generator won't start in the event of a low oil condition. As mentioned by the previous commenter, the engine hour meter operates as he describes. If your question relates to is it a problem if the generator is placed on an unlevel floor or has been recently moved the auto low oil level feature could cause an auto shutdown. You must check the oil level before each use and keep the oil changed in accordance with the operating instructions schedule. A low oil level condition could lead to catastrophic engine damage. I hope this answer helps.

Oil/gas mix. I use regular gas and it works fine although I sometimes run 91 through it. I've never had issues with regular. You must mix with oil.

Conervatively, most so called experts will say new generators need their first oil change after25 hours. Beyond that, you'll have to dump refill every 50 or 60 hours. I usually look at the oil, finger test for color and viscosity, if it is fine I leave it alone and add when it is needed.

The oil which comes with the scooter is shipping oil. Change it in the first few DAYS to keep the engine running smootly..10W30 synthetic oil

I have no idea. The paperwork with it did not mention oiling and I can not find a spot to do so.

Usually PVE or POE type oil (depending on the AC manufacturer's instructions.) Do NOT use WD40 or vacuum pump oil. It will void your AC's warranty and could cause premature compressor failure.

You have to maintain the generator as outlined in the manual. Mine gets a once a year visit from the Generac Technician for routine maintenance. Two weeks of continuous running is not out of the question. Just keep an eye on the lights and if the yellow one comes on, change the oil and filter and start it again.

Oil is supplied with the fan. There's a oil fill plug on the top,remove the plug and fill.
