Someone had a mq as a standby power generator. Run up 169hr in 5 years. That sounds about right running it once a month and the several power outages we've had since 2019.
They painted it brown for some reason that was likely apparent had I seen it where I was installed and the oil has a really strong cinnamon smell to it.
It has the original filter, whatever Isuzu puts on their 2.2L common rail engine and whatever mq power puts in them for oil.
I guess the people who had it just wanted a new one or a bigger one. Why 25kw isn't enough or how 5 years old is too old idk.
I wish I had "buy a new mq power unit every 5 years" just because money.
Isuzu says change the oil and filter at 100 to 250hrs on the first oci, but then every 500hrs or 1yr after the first one.
I'm pretty sure this was the original oil as the oil runs and fisheyes on metal surfaces, fresh oil don't do that.
There was no trace of oil in the oil drain line between the valve and where the oil pours out.
I tried to get a picture where there oil is being repelled by the oil filter metal.
At least change the oil every 3 years if you put some hours on them.
Replaced with good old saftykleen and an OCD ph9688.
