Firman Dual Fuel Oil Change: 31 Hours Deep (yes, I'm late)

- Let's be honest, who ACTUALLY follows their generator's maintenance schedule? This knucklehead (me) certainly didn't. Witness the epic struggle (read: minor inconvenience) of changing the oil in my Firman dual fuel generator, WAY past the recommended 25 hours. Will it be a smooth operation, or will this engine turn into a smoky, clanging mess? Find out (and learn from my mistakes!).

post an update if you see metal in the oil at the second oil change!
Excellent idea! I will do that for sure!!
Once again. Good tips. Thanks
Thank you!!!
Do you have to charge the battery before the first use? If so, do you have to charge it every so often?
the owner's Manual states not to screw the dipstick in to check the oil.
Interesting...I'll have to pull my manual out, I don't remember that LOL thanks!!!
That’s true I was about to say that. There is a drawing showing taking oil measurements without screwing it in completely. So technically your oil level is lower than what it should be.
That's worth a call to the manufacturer for confirmation. Tech writers are notoriously out of touch with engineers and often inaccurate in their writing. Especially Chinese engineers. Funny thing is if you put in the correct amount of oil... you should be at the correct oil level. Thus, I refer you back to my original thesis about tech writers... 😂 FWIW, I've owned lots of Honda power equipment engines and their clones... I always screwed in the dip stick to read it. That said... you can go 3/4 of a quart of oil here and be fine. Engine isn't going to explode... 😂
@@columbiariversalmonenhance4050 I verified with support and you’re not supposed to screw it in to read the proper oil level. If you’re screwing it in then your oil is slightly lower than recommended. Trust me I verified with Firman support.
I am just going to assume that the squeaky noises during fast-forward is non-stop swearing. 😂
actually it was "ouch" and a few swears thrown in because I kept getting burned, it was still hot! LOL
U are wasting oil ,,
Hi! I'm not sure I'm following...wasting oil? This was the initial oil change which is 25 hours according to the manual.
@@travelpawsrv man u all's ,, manuals ,,
@@FourMypersonaluse Nope, and I won't be changing this every 25 hours. 25 hours first change, then every 100 hours after is the plan.🙂
@@FourMypersonaluse It seems to work out to about 25 hours in a cars first oil change! I had to look it up, at about 50 mph, which is the average of my drives I'll say, that is about 1000 miles or so. He has been saying first oil change which is always lower than the rest of them. He even pointed out there was metal in the oil, which isn't common, but common on the first oil change, which is why it is changed so soon.
