* Generac Mobile recommends oil change intervals on the MLTS equipped with the Mitsubishi L2E Tier 4 engine be
extended to 1,000 hours after initial break-in. The engine comes from the factory with a larger sump that holds
3.6 qts (3.4 L) of engine oil. After the initial 50 hour break-in and oil change, the sump, coupled with the larger oil
filter, allows the engine to operate up to 1,000 hours between routine oil changes. Hot, humid, or dusty conditions
can shorten engine oil service life, regardless of suggested oil change intervals. Always follow the recommendations
of the OEM engine manual that was shipped with the unit for specific operating instructions. If further technical
assistance is required, contact Generac Mobile Technical Service at 1-800-926-9768.
** Maintenance interval may be reduced based on operation in dirty environments.
