How often should I change the oil in my standby generator?

Change the oil according to your generator manufacturer’s schedule, which is based on run hours and time in service. We include oil and filter changes in our standby generator maintenance visits for Tampa Bay homes. Heavy storm use or extended outages may require earlier service. Our preventative maintenance plans cover routine oil changes, system tests, and tune-ups.

Quick checks:

• Check the run-hours meter.
• Inspect oil level and color monthly when safe.
• Schedule service after long runtime events.
