That's funny. February of last year, I bought the 11kw Generac Guardian series and they said use, and it apparently had, 30 wt in it. February and 30 wt. oil??????? Not in my machines! So, before I even started it I drained it and installed Mobil 1 0w-30 like I use in my Chebby truck. The running once per week eats up some propane, but thinking about it it's a good idea keeping things lubed up and the battery charged.
Having had to worry about power outages over the years and pulling out the portable standby and all the extension cords and running out of gas on a prolonged outage, this thing is just a great big "teddy bear". All these storms we have been having, many of them electrical, haven't bothered us a bit, and we comment on it every time one comes through. We call it our "little buddy". I check the timer and it doesn't know the difference between daylight savings and regular standard time, but on Wednesdays, at 12:55 (CST), it kicks in for 17 minutes right on the money. I bought the Generac because they have built over 1 million generators and the little V twin is of their own making just for such service. I like that. Butttt I still haven't figured out why they recommend a single viscosity oil in today's market considering they sell these things around the world in all kind of environments.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
