Yall may hate me before this is all said and done with my millions of questions!
So today, the generator started bogging down and eventually died...... Then about an hour later on our 30 mile trip back from the brake shop the engine died twice! The engine my husband has narrowed done to it being 3 quarts low on oil ......so question one what type of oil do we use? And let's hope that's the problem there.
Question number two .... What would cause the generator to bog down and eventually die? And what type of oil does it use?
I know I can go to Oman website for generator issues but I figured since I'm already here I'd ask!!!
The generator was working perfectly until today..... A nice and toasty 101 temp
How long do generators normally last, I assume this is the original one? It's a 6000 onan.
