I purchased this inverter generator back on June 30 and gave it a serious shake down due to the very limited 90 day warranty. By that I mean hooking it up to the transfer switch on our home and running some and later all of the target loads. At the end of the warranty with 15 hours on the machine, I dropped the initial M1 10w-30 HM and filled it with T6 5w-40. Then I ran it another three hours with the target loads, just to make sure it got along with the oil. It was loaded to 2800 watts for a while while the dishwasher ran a sani-cycle with heated dry.
That was a month ago; fast forward to today when I replaced the original plug with an Iridium NGK BPR7EIX. I was expecting either a Torch or no name brand Chinese plug to come out. What came out was a Bosch! This begs the question, was the Bosch also made in China, or has someone somewhere decided that the Chinese plugs aren't cutting it for this application?
