Please look at the attached a guide to safely turn off your generator to check/add oil. It is full-synthetic 5W-30 oil. Stay safe.
- 5W-30 Full Synthetic Oil

- Make sure to turn OFF the generator breaker first. Never turn a generator off at the Emergency stop switch in the back, unless it’s an emergency
