N3LYT -- I agree with you that the oil doesn't know if it is still in the jug or in the engine crankcase - as long as it doesn't get any water in it - it doesn't have to be changed yearly or even started monthly.
The owners manual says to start the engine and let it warm up for 5 - 10 minutes to let everything stabilize before putting a load on the generator.
I was reading consumer reports and they said that the Rigid model sold in Home Depot was the best model of all.. It had a better design generator, a better handle for pushing, a better engine with a filter and still was cheaper then the Generac and Honda model of about the same size.
