[QUOTE="Fredkrueger100, post: 3935427, member: 24577"] So I put in 10w30 conventional oil and ran the generator for a little over 5 hours. I hooked some things up to it to change the load every now and again. It never had one issue and ran the same the whole time. It started up by pushing the start button once. I used gas this time as the hose and regulator that came with it didn’t have the right connection to connect to by 100 pound cylinders. I bought a new regulator to hook to the hose so I can run my propane bottles on it. I looked it over good and didn’t notice anything loose or anything. I was very surprised at how it was much quieter than my champion generator even though this duromax is bigger. So far I am really happy I chose this model. I know that it has enough power to run everything in my home. I hope I don’t have to use it but I know it’s only a matter of time where I live. OGE goes out all the time out here. After it cooled some I drained the oil and put in some Amsoil 5w30 small engine synthetic oil. So it’s ready to go now. [/QUOTE]
