I am a new RV owner and this is the exact generator I have. I did not have a clue how to do this and you have shown me way more than the dealer did about this generator. I didn't even know it has circuit breakers or that you could start it right on the generator! Thank you so much for putting this on youtube. I am off to change my oil now. Oh by the way, my book said change it after the first 50 hours and then every 150 or annually after that. So I blew past the 50 hours by almost 40 but I don't think that will make a big difference I hope! I guess if there are no iron filings I should be good to go. Thanks again for this video!

@@GetGonewithUS I turn 70 this year and haven't changed oil in anything since my late 30's! Your video made it so simple I couldn't believe it!

The auto parts store even disposed of my old oil for free. Next is changing the oil in my V10 engine!

Glad to see you working Chuck. Lol. Getting that filter off took some doing. I think some things are made difficult to do on purpose in hopes you'll take it to the shop. I changed the oil in my 4000, but I don't have an oil filter to mess with. Keep up the good work.

[@GetGonewithUS]

Hi Carl! The filter isn't that bad after the first time you take it off. My biggest problem with the 4000 we had on the Class C was the start button was too close to where you put the oil in and occasionally my hand would bump it while filling and that made quite the mess. LOL

[@swabbievet]

I can see where that wouldn't be a good thing.

[@GetGonewithUS]

Nope, big hands I guess. LOL

[@roseandmiron]

Hey Chuck thank you so much that helped me out a lot. I change my diesel oil in my truck and then some of the similar things you talked about, but have never done the generator , because it's brand new.. thank you for that little bit of extra we appreciate it one question we were going to ask was do you normally change the oil 20 hours for 250 hours when it's brand new? Ours is a 5500 LP

Extremely informative and helpful video! I do have a question; ' the front cover (on the ONAN) states that the oil capacity is "2 qts. with oil filter". However, it appears that you used almost 2 1/2 quarts if you included the oil poured into the filter.' I'm sorta confused on that issue. Should I purchase 3 quarts for my impending oil change?? Thanks for taking your time to illustrate to us, the steps to do this oil service.

[@GetGonewithUS]

Good luck, they are tough to get off the first time. We wrapped some rubber from a bicycle inner tube around the exposed part of the filter, then put the filter wrench over that. Grabbed the wrench as tight as we could, followed by a couple of choice words and it came off. Be careful near that shielding, it will cut skin easily...ask me how I know! LOL

[@dcoleman7522]

Great video. Do you still need the special tool after the 1st time? I ask because I have oil filter tools that I have bought for my cars and I have noticed that I really only need them once. When I hand tighten when it is time to change I can actually remove the filter with my hand. I have never had an issue with leaks. Of course oil changes in the Car are about twice a year for me. I am thinking of having my dealer ensure it is not too tight so when I am ready to change I may not require a special tool. Thoughts?

[@GetGonewithUS]

Thank you! I always tighten it 1/4 turn passed hand tight on everything I change oil on. The grid that is under the 5500 can cut your hand, don't ask me how I know. LOL I use the wrench, to be on the safe side.

Thank you so much for this video, very helpful. Just have one question... it looks like you didn't use the filter wrench when you put the oil filter back on, look like you it's tight enough just by hand (without wrench), is that correct? or did you use the wrench to make sure it's tight enough? It's my first time doing this, so just want to make sure I do it right... thanks again. Pierre.

[@GetGonewithUS]

You are welcome Pierre! I did not use an oil filter wrench to tighten it. I have been doing oil changes on all sorts of engines for over 40 years and have developed a feel for the tightness. For first time I would recommend you use the wrench though as per instructions. Good Luck! 😀

Good video. However I found if I fill our 5500 up to the full mark after about an hour (give or take 15-30 minutes) the unit "stammers" and shuts down. I found a video where an engineer type (had the same problem) was looking at the dipstick. Determined that it was designed wrong. He lowered the level the "add" mark and the problem went away. I've since lowered our oil level and the unit has run just as it should.

Thanks Joseph. That is interesting, we never had that problem. I would probably call Onan and ask them about it, just to be on the safe side. 😀

How did you actually get the 2 quarts in the gen. I know you said it took a while but what was the process. I can only get just over quart in.

We give it time to really drain, then put fresh oil in the filter and start filling the generator slowly and then just keep topping it off. It will take time, but the 2 quarts do fit. 😀

The Cummins/Onan Energy Command unit....do they all have that or is that something you added on?

Our rig came with it, I can't speak for all rigs though. I have no way of knowing. Sorry.
