I have a 17K PowerTech Generator that I need to change the oil in. I see the book says use 30W or 10W-30W. What brand and weight do most owners use in it?

Same oil I use in the bus.
I use Delo 15-40 in my generator.
Like Kevin, the same as the bus. Shell Rotella 15w-40.

Same here.
Same as in the bus.....
I use Rotello in the bus, so I guess that's what I'll use in the generator. Thanks to all.

Dale: I dont think you would go wrong with the rotella for the Gen set as I have used the rotella in the Gen in both buses and I know at least one of them still works.
I am sure Paulette would like a sensor or two for her birthday, and then a good meal to top it off. What woman wouldn't go for that?

You're right, Roger.
Janice just loved the air bags I got her for Christmas!
Didn't seem quite so thrilled with the OTR re-charge for her birthday, though...
I changed my oil, oil filter and both fuel filters on the generator today. I let it drain for about 1/2 hour. My manual says it takes 9 qts to fill it up; but I put 8 qts in and ran it for about 5 minutes, and it is still showing completely full. I will check it in the morning after it sits all night and see what it looks like.
Does everyone else put 9 qts in their 17K Power Tech? I know the 20K takes about 11 qts.
