Oil for Honda 2000i

[Marmot]

Per the owner's manual, the oil specs for a Honda 2000i are as follows:

10W-30 for temps warmer than -5*F

5W-30 for temps cooler than 30*F

Do you change the oil based on the season/temp? Do run the same weight of oil year around?

I just purchased a 2000i for the fish house and for the inevitable Zombiepocalypse. I doubt I will run my generator very much during the year. I prefer not to change the oil every season especially if I only run it a couple times or even less. I am thinking of running 5W-30 year around, but also want opinions.

You would be just fine running the 5w30 year round. They will have the same viscosity when they warm up and the 5W30 will be easier on the generator when its cold.
