FIRECAT Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 5-30 winter 10-30 summer, Ran Honda oil when it was new, now switching to Amsoil, like all my other small motors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grainbelt Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Says in the manual, 5-30 when temp is below 25 degrees. Use 10-30 when it is warmer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minnbowhunter Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 You will love your gen. Make sure you change oil when the manual recommends. My 1000eu gets the oil changed almost every time I use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
