• Normal operating level is in the cross-hatch
pattern between the full and add markings on
the dipstick.

* Generac Mobile Products, LLC recommends that oil change intervals on the MLT6SM equipped with the Mitsubishi
L3E-W461ML Tier 4 engine be extended to 750 hours after initial break-in. The engine comes from the factory with
a larger sump that holds 5.5 qts (5.2 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 750 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 Products Technical Service at
1-800-926-9768.
