Good heavens, a motor oil thread! But one I've not seen on this forum before, so maybe it won't devolve into shouting and insults...

So I'm now the happy owner of a dual fuel Onan, courtesy of the instructions provided by Jerry Work!

However, I'm now faced with the question of what oil to use, since I'm primarily running on propane...

From some quick research on the web, what I'm seeing is stationary engines that run at a constant RPM can benefit from a propane/NG specific motor oil.

What say you? Not looking for opinions on brands, or anything like that... Just should I continue with a normal oil, or convert to a Propane/NG oil....
