	Dears, I have purchased an old Honda generator 220V 5KVA for domestic use. I don't have any service manual for this gen. I want to know after how much service hours should we change its engine oil? I think, mostly oil changing period equal for small generators up to 10KVA.

	Every 50 hours on regular oil, maybe double with synthetic

	every 50 hrs as has been said or 6months which ever comes first. __________________ Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving in a pretty, pristine body but rather to come sliding in sideways, all used up and exclaiming, "Wow, what a ride!"

	After reading the literature, I could not understand that some generators need to change the oil after 100hours and some after 300hours. Can someone explain? I am sorry I am a basic learner.

	Some generator manufacturers get good deals from the companies that sell them oil. Others don't. Also look at their warranties .................Ed Weldon __________________ Captain Eddie's Day Old Fish market - Home of the Bonneville Salt Fish.
