2-2.2 Filling engine oil

Remove the dipstick from the engine

Make sure the generator is on level ground, and fill the engine with 15W40 engine oil.

Put the dipstick back into the hole to check

the engine oil level.

Engine oil is the most important factor in determining the life of your generator

engine. If y

ou use poor engine oil or if you don’t change the oil regularly, the piston

and c

ylinder will wear easily or seize up. Also, the life of the other parts in your

engine such as bearings, and other rotating parts will shorten considerably.

Although there is an oil sensor that checks for low oil pressure, it is always a good

idea to c

heck the amount of oil inside the engine. If the oil level is low, fill it before

arting the engine. A good time to drain the oil from the engine is when the diesel

engine is warm. If t

he engine is fully cooled, it is more difficult to drain all the oil out

or some impurities will remain in the engine.
