JUO:
the manufacturer of the generators says service every 100hrs of usage. But why don't you service yours that way? You dey fine story

Who says I don't. Since I cant measure the time use on my gen, I service every 3 months (plug change 6 months). I have used my generator for 5 years now and she runs great. Good maintenance makes equipment last. I am an IT expert so I know the importance of equipment maintenance.
PS: I didnt make the rules. The manufacturers did.

What happens to your oil filter? will you use for the duration or will you change it alone?

There are high capacity oil filters than can stand the test. Moreover oil filters can be changed midway between oil change.

Bros, if u are using conventional 20w50 oil then it is good to change every 3 months. But if u are using synthetic there's absolutely no need unless u do lots of towing.

What if I want to switch from Total 20w50 to Toyota 5w20, will it require using semi synthetic in between to smoothen the.transition process ? It's a toyota vehicle.

I think Toyota 5w20 is semi synthetic, I'm not sure though. But gazzuzz would know. Semi synthetic or synthetic, it is good enough provided the oil is genuine and manufacturers reccomemded.

The poster also asked where he can get 5w30 grade oil in port harcourt and its environs. Who knows?
