Hello and thank you for yiur video... do you happen to know when to change oil after the first ever use?

[@lolosgaragediy7090]

Thank you for watching!! After the first oil change, manufacturer recommends to change oil before 100 hours of use. It’s so inexpensive to do the job, that i personally prefer before 50 hours of use.

Thanks!! You save me. I have no idea how i can do it. You can make another video doing the fuel change?

[@lolosgaragediy7090]

Thank you for watching. Don’t know what you mean with fuel change. This week upload gonna replace spark plug and air filter.

How often should we change the oil? Why did one side of the circuit plug stop working? Just purchase on Thursday 7/12/2024. I have just changed the oil. Good and simple instructions without any long talking. Thank you sir.

[@lolosgaragediy7090]

Thank you for watching. Oil changes are based on hours of operation, have to check the owners manual.

Should I change it if I haven’t run the generator since last year?

[@lolosgaragediy7090]

Once opened, motor oil will be good for 2-5 years. Engine oil have an expiration date, they degrade and loose viscosity and other properties. Better safe than sorry and change it.

[@megturner4018]

should I run the generator for a few minutes first?

[@lolosgaragediy7090]

If You warm up the oil, it's less viscous and it flows better, easier to drain. Other than that, not much difference. Do what’s easier for you. Thank you and good luck.

[@martinhavens9369]

That's some good looking oil! Lol

[@alextrevino9175]

10w 30 or 15w 40?

[@lolosgaragediy7090]

manufacturer recommends 10w-30, thank you for watching

[@c.nobody3378]

So someone put 2 cycle oil into my parents generator. Will it be ok? Or should I drain it and fill with 10w-30

[@ironeagle2526]

@@c.nobody3378 I would change it for sure use what it calls for
