This video is about oil change on a cummins onan 7000 generator on my tiffin 36 ua.
Onan diesel generator oil type.
In addition to the new oil blend cummins is still offering the sae15w 40 for small diesel rv generators.
One downside to this oil is that it can get a little pricy but if you are willing to fork out a little more this is a great.
A four pole generator normally must be operated at 1 800 rpm to provide 60 hertz of power.
Cummins manufacturers and ships gasoline and lp powered onan rv generators using sae10w 30 oil blend.
Also the oil should be very diesel specific if it is a diesel powered generator.
This oil here is sold by the very same company that produces the onan generators so you will never have to worry about the compatibility of it with your very own onan generator.

The quiet diesel series models are the heavy duty choice when low noise and low vibration are required.
However the smaller sizes use inverter technology to allow variable speed operation that raises the engine rpm as the load increases.
The units are totally enclosed including cooling muffler and intake systems.
If it is a gas powered one then any oil at that level will do.
Onan recommends that you use a 10w40 oil viscosity when changing the oil in your 5500 generator.
That is if the area temperatures range from very mild to hot.
