Where did you get that?I run on similar. I think they work best when you install a magnetic dipstick before the first start.

I'll use refilled gear oil bottles for small engine oil and bar and chain oil. Just mark them so you know it's not gear oil.Also, I thought of an even easier idea to oil changes.
When filling the little Honda's crank last night with oil from a gallon jug of Delo -- it was a bit cumbersome, even with the drain tube attached. So I found some 16oz condiment bottles with FL OZ marked on the side. That should make filing and dispensing accurate amounts easier!

I change my oil yearly. I do it when I clean off the battery terminals for my home standby generator. The whole annual maintenance job takes about an hour, longest part is draining the old oilPulled the little Honda EU2200i out of the shed yesterday. Probably hasn't been ran in about 14 months. Thankfully, I remembered I had ran it out of fuel last time.
Connecting the app to my phone up to the generator showed it has 197 hours on it. When I bought it new, I know I changed it after 3-4 hours. The fill in it from hour 4 to 197 was Delo 5W-40 synthetic.
Drained and filled it up with some new Delo 5W-40 synthetic. Push a few splashes of TruFuel 91 octane ethanol free in it and she dialed to life after a few pulls. Let it run about a half hour.
Going to fill my cans with ethanol-free this evening and hope I don't need to use the unit. What hour mark are you all changing your small generators at? The almost 200hr oil looked dark but good still.
Why?I run mine every 2 months, shutting off the fuel valve to let it die. I also use tcw-3 in the non ethanol fuel @640:1.
