HF 3500/4000 watt gen with Mobil 1 5w30 EP. Gets run about every 3-4 months for at least 1/2 an hour. Oils been in there 2 years now, might change this year but it still looks and smells like new.,,,
Mobil1 10w40HM in my Generac XP8000e
Coleman Power-Mate 5,000 Watt 6,250 Peak-Watts with 10 HP Tecumseh engine 3,600 RPM unit, and a Generac ix2000 Watt inverter type generator. GC (German Castrol 0W-30) in both. Beside keeping several quarts of GC handy, I do keep two quarts of Mobil 15W-50, and two quarts of Mobil 20W-50 V-twin, handy for use on days when the ambient temperature is > 90 Fahrenheit.
Generac with a Techumseh engine I bought from Lowes for "Y2K". Have used QSUD 10W-30 since the local supplier of Schaeffer 9000 quit carrying it.
2006 Generac GT-990 engine, 16kw whole house generator
QSUD or Napa full synthetic 5w-30
Baldwin oil filter
Due to frame rusting issues, it will be lucky to make it another two years.

Just yesterday major power outages in NY, LA and San Fran. Just a coincidence or test run for a more diabolical plan at a later date? Experts have warned of how vulnerable grid is.

2 Honda EU2000's, one being a Companion. Total Quartz 10-30.
I use M1 10-30 in my Coleman Powermate with the Subaru engine. Here is a pic when doing a load bank test. I use this generator for occasional power outages, for power when trimming trees and bushes, and when I need remote power for my mig, stick, or tig welders.

tig, I see you're plugged into two separate sides of two 120 outlets instead of plugging into the top and bottom outlet on the same side. I have a Briggs and Stratton Storm Responder 5500 watt generator and they say to balance out loads when using electrical cords use both top and bottom plugs on the same side to balance the load. In fact the extension cord included with the generator plugs into the top and bottom plug on the same side outlet and gives you two plugs for one load and two for the other. Since you plugged into the bottom plug on the left to balance the load you would plug into the top plug on the right set of plugs. Of course PowerMate generators my have different plug in requirements to balance loads. I know B&S's requirements is the opposite of having two sets of two plugs next to each other in your home.
