I have a 15KW PowerTech genset with 1008 hrs. I've clocked 100 hrs since last owners Oil change. I took out 5.5 quarts and reinstalled 5.5 with a filter change. The Manual calls for 8.5 quarts with a filter change. I just got off the phone with PowerTech support and they tell me that All Newells ended up with 5.5 quart oil pans.
Has anyone had a longevity problem with their PowerTech Gen set ?
I like my Oil & filter changes at 100 hrs. So with clean oil, air and fuel, I should get 15,000 to 20,000 hrs shouldn't I ?
Being a gear head, I kinda want the 8.5 quart system, but PowerTech says a larger oil pan isn't available for a Newell install.
Thoughts .....?
