what kind of oil is used for this generator

Use any good grade automotive 10W-30 for summer use. In the winterime, with cold temperatures, use 5W-20. That's what I use. I switch to 5W-20, when the weather remains below freezing and down into sub-zero weather.

I think that I used Mobil 10w30. I've got a bunch of hours on the unit and it runs great.

I always use synthetic 10w30. It is a great all weather oil and you change it every 40 hours.

It's a four stroke. So no oil in gas. And I'm using a air cooled small engine oil.

I use Castrol ATV or Castrol 4 stroke oil, any 4 stroke or atv oil should work fine though

It uses regular motor oil. It comes with the oil you need to fill and run it.

The oil which comes with the scooter is shipping oil. Change it in the first few DAYS to keep the engine running smootly..10W30 synthetic oil

If you need oil use 10w. A brand called zoom spout works great Grainger industrial supply sells it

The only oil used is any make of chain saw lube oil. The tank is very small.

Yes this generator uses gasoline & it's a good idea to also use fuel system conditioner as well...this generator is great.I'm taking it on a camping trip next weekend & I will update my review after that

Add a fuel stabilizer and leave the gas in it. The amount of gas in the tank dose not matter. I started to use fuel stabilizer years ago and since I have no problems starting seasonal equipment even after months of inactivity. I try to start my generator about once a month to move oil around and lubricate internal engine parts

Not sure, however, after I discovered an oil leak on my machine I just had my local shop fix it. The cost was minimal and down time was short. I used it all day yesterday and it ran like a champ.

I have a Generac, and lucking for me when Sandy arrived. I was one of the only ones with electric, but after 14 days of use, you have to change oil and filter. Not sure if the motor can stand continued use. I think it best you check with a company supplying generators.

your research is correct also. just buy unit new, not a reject like I did. It is a very good generator

I use it in my lawnmower and whole house generator. Any air cooled engine will run cooler using this oil. Used in all my automobiles for the past 15 years as well.
