Quick generator maintenance tip ⚡
For anyone running a Champion 2500W dual-fuel inverter generator:
It comes with 10W-30 oil, but 5W-30 automotive oil (even high-mileage) is perfectly fine for oil changes, especially in cooler weather.
🛢 Oil change intervals:
• First oil change at 5 hours (important break-in step)
• Then every 50 hours of run time or once a year

Oil capacity is only about ½ quart, so don’t overfill — fill to the dipstick threads.
A little routine maintenance goes a long way toward keeping equipment reliable when you need it most 💪
