Greetings, any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
We just purchased a home with a Generac Home Generator that's fueled by propane. The instruction manual states-
"Use a high-quality detergent oil classified “For Service SJ or SH.” Detergent oils keep the engine cleaner and reduce carbon deposits. When changing the engine oil, be sure to use 5w30 engine oil."
My first issue is with the SJ or SH. My research indicates that these are obsolete and that I am good with going with an SN but I want to be certain before I go dumping a new type of oil into generator. Second question is "Detergent oil". Is this simply referring to oil with additives?
Finally, any recommendations about a high quality, readily available oil to use that meets the above requirements?
Thanks!
