2.3 — Engine Oil Recommendations
To maintain the product warranty, use only genuine Generac replacement parts. Generac maintenance kits include
both the oil filter and air filter, and can be obtained through any Authorized Dealer.
Although the unit is filled at the factory with 5W-20 engine oil, replace with 5W-30 engine oil at the first oil change which
is due at 30 hours break-in. Select a high-quality detergent oil classified "SJ or SH." Detergent oils keep the engine
cleaner and reduce carbon deposits. After break-in, a synthetic oil that meets or exceeds SAE specifications is recom-
mended. Once synthetic oil is used, it should be used for the life of the generator. It is not recommended to go back to
a mineral oil. Do not use special additives.
NOTE: If not already equipped, it is strongly recommended to use the optional Cold Weather Start Kit for tem-
peratures below 32°F. The oil grade for temperatures below 32°F is 5W-30 synthetic oil.
