At least twice a month, but you should allow the generator to rest a bit, is the noise not affecting you?

I am probably lucky with this cos my gen goes off if the oil is due for changing ...I have been using it for about 4 years
samething for my own and I think every normal generator should behave the same way

Every week, the oil should be changed and try as much as you can not to let fuel dry in it
fake, nothing happens when fuel finish why working , I have been using my gen since 2016 with no issue and most time fuel finish inside why still working and no happen to it

It does like magic. If I'm not mistaken, I have been doing this for over a decade and it has helped saved alot. Your gen will run almost twice the hours it does on a full tank

I think I have tried it on some occasions . Just couldn't come into conclusion

Who is the lokito moderator who always attaches “help!” to inquiries? You ill-bred children maintain the low expectation I possess regarding this place.

Run your generator till it goes off from anything other than fuel. Top the oil then run the process more times. After a while you’ll come to an estimate of how long the oil lasts. Some generators have a low oil light. I doubt yours is in the category.

Onowu1979:


Most new generators now come equipped with an oil switch. This prevents engine "knocking" like you rightly imply. It shuts down your generator once you are low on oil. Start it 10 times it shuts down 10 times. This dosent mean that OP should wait for that warning sign though.
totally right

Read your manual!!



1. When you buy brandnew generator, change the oil after the first month or after 20 hours. Whichever comes first.



2. Then change after 6 months or 100 hours whichever comes first.

Since you said it's 12 hours. That means you should change your oil after 8-9 days.




Note: Make sure you check the level of your oil before starting to avoid the engine damage.
thank you bro ✊

naijaguy123456:
12 hours sounds a lot then it depends on the load . Your oil must be black by now.

Black oil does not mean that the oil has gone bad.
Even draining the oil and replacing with new one, as soon as the engine revolves for a while, there is possibility that the oil will turn black.
What matters most is the oil viscosity and not the colour.

Secondly, the picture u attached to your response is of no use to the question the OP asked. It wouldn't offer any solution to his question.
The maintenance schedule does not relate to his generator.

Change oil every month and change plug (original one) once a year, some can serve more. And don't overload it.

well, the generator have serve me more than my expectation, infact if anything happen now, it have serve his value for my money.


No generator is built to last forever.

The only reason I understand why people said the fuel should now finish why working is because of the dirt to the carburettor and nothing special. So far your generator tank is clean, then there is nothing to worry about

I bought this gen some years back.... Around jibowu area.. My brother i used this gen for years, i swear i didn't change oil, lol..

Not advising the above... Yes for years i didn't change oil, the day i changed oil, gen started giving small small issues, perhaps na local oil changer i use or something...

In conclusion if you're changing oil, mind who and what oil you use, secondly you bought a very solid gen... Infact mine is still alive.. Should be close to 10 years now. Though its packed somewhere, since am not around
hmmm � see miracle ooh, thank you so much
