A pair of EU200i on it's way.
I've hesitated. The last time I had a power outage was just a summer brownout that lasted one night this summer. We get that maybe once or twice in the summer. Aside from that was the great Northeast blackout.
Fast forward today. Just last year, I did all the research and decided on the ~red~ Genny over the Yammy's, but nixed the idea due to space. Then Sandy came, no power, I must have been hauling out bucket after bucket until 3 AM just to keep water under control . We go flooded last year but it was quite manageble as we had 2 pumps going, and was just isolating/scooping up water and pouring it into the tub where I had a Sump running as well.
So, for all your oil guys, I'm totally open on Oil Choice, but what would you recommend for a generator that MAY see 1-2 uses MAX -3-6 hours on average (aka - 6-12 hrs max uses per year) for the GX100 based Honda EU series.
Dino or synthetic.
Syn would be easy choice as I have both 10W60 and 5W40 PUE.
The only dino I stash is PYB 5W30 for the snownblower.
